experience."
30160 "CtR Monsoon - One of the three most challenging Capture the Relic maps.
There is only limited space to build on as most of the map is covered in endless
marshes, which in the coldest seasons turn to ice. The relic stands in the center,
enclosed in a sacred grove of trees."

maps. Players appear huddled up around the relic atop a vast pyramid but their
monasteries lie all the way on the bottom stair."
30162 "CtR Spiral - One of the three most challenging Capture the Relic maps. The
center of the map has been engulfed in a spiral of deep waters and the only way to
reach the relic is to follow the current in long and treacherous circles."
30163 "Golden Swamp - A tropical marsh lies at the center of a jungle, enshrouding
a small island brimming with gold. The rest of the jungle remains bereft of riches,
rendering this swampland too enticing to pass up."
30164 "Four Lakes - An ordinary land at first sight, with four serene lakes resting
in the corners of the map, it rapidly breaks into a race for control of the much-
coveted waters, for they hold the greatest abundance of fish."

scattered, have become ripe for picking by the marauding Goths and Huns."

must defend it from enemy players or teams to win. All players start in the

deforested land serves as the only path between two sets of rivals."

forested hill, battles are certain to ensue both in the barren south, in the dark
woods, and on the sea waves in the north."
30182 "African Clearing - Lone villagers have wandered into a forest clearing and
must now battle for the control of its sparse resources."
30183 "Atacama - This barren desert is unlikely to quench anyone's thirst, but with
its occupants' unrelenting search, its aridity soon gives way to lush trees the
deeper one goes."
30184 "Seize The Mountain - A prospector's dream looms ahead, on a mountain
protruding out of shallows. It is not merely down to who claims it first, but
rather whose claim will outlast the others."
30185 "Crater - In the depths of a Siberian forest, an ash-covered wasteland
appears, offering little shelter but plenty in gold and riches."
30186 "Crossroads - Four forest-capped hills loom at the center, serving as the

the majority of players select this option, then all players will be assigned
random civilizations when the game begins."
30216 "Acclivity - Surrounded by rocky cliffs, players find themselves exposed with
only a few resources at their disposal. It is, therefore, crucial to seek out and
secure the surrounding heights."
30217 "Eruption - The mountainous volcano holds valuable treasures at its peak, but
climbing it will leave you defenceless to enemy attacks from above."
30218 "Frigid Lake - With the ice vanishing around the players, food is easily
accessible and plentiful; however, their towns are left exposed and unprotected
from enemy raids."

fish that can be found near the cold and exposed ice caps drifting in the freezing

themselves running out of resources, forcing them to settle for the more unsafe
resources scattered in the deep valley."

are also looking to benefit from this impressive victory. Use the markets to gain
an advantage and vanquish the opposition."

flowering grasslands offer."

will be crucial to surmount and control the spine of the mountain so that every
battle will be in your favour."

you with plenty of resources but in constant fear of enemy aggression from any
direction."

rebuild their empire and control the still-standing buildings that will aid the
players economy."

quickly venture out to secure resources on the other side of the jagged unbuildable
path."

opportunity to secure your resources. Forest are sparse, exposed and challenging to

of berry bushes can be found in the middle, and hidden among them are many relics."
30231 "Land Madness - With resources scattered across the map and forests
surrounded by unbuildable rugged terrain, walling is nearly impossible and military
presence will be crucial."

vast amounts of shore fish. These resources are far from the players, leaving them
exposed to raids."

for buildings to be constructed. Players must use the limited space and resources
to secure victory."
30234 "Morass - Take advantage of the muddy morass surrounding the great tropical
rainforest. The outskirts are rich in valuable resources and vulnerable wildlife."
30235 "Shoals - The shallow waters only allow for small groups of fish, but
conquering the sea will allow you to quickly reach your enemy, as well as take
control of the large gold deposits near the coasts."
30236 "Cliffbound - Arid cliffs encircle the players, confining them within a harsh
savannah. Resources are scarce, and space is precious. Early aggression will be
crucial to secure a foothold on this unforgiving landscape."
30237 "Isthmus - A narrow strip of desert land flanked by water. Control of the
seas will be paramount to harnessing the abundant fish and securing victory."
30238 "Dunesprings - Survive the harsh desert, expand into the grasslands, and
thrive in the Mediterranean forests. Claim the rich springs, and seize the deep
pond in the centre – the choice of when and how is yours."
30239 "Golden Stream - Your starting lands are deficient, but the mangrove river
offers a lifeline. Expansion is risky, but the heartland beckons with a wealth of
gold. Brave the perils, control the golden centre and claim your rightful victory."
30240 "Mountain Dunes - Players begin atop towering dunes, overlooking a landscape
of shifting sands. The desert is rich in palm trees, but the hilly terrain makes
expansion difficult. Exposed stone deposits can be found in the dangerous desert, a
perilous prize for those who dare."
30241 "River Divide - Your starting lands hold little resources, but opportunity
lies across the rivers. Utilise your transport ship to explore the dense forests
and scout potential crossings. Secure the vital resources, control the waterways,
and outmanoeuvre your foes."
30242 "Sandrift - Survive amidst the shifting sands, a stark expanse devoid of
life. A vast wasteland separates you – yet conflict is inevitable in this struggle
for dominance."
30243 "Shrubland - Vast fields of forage bushes sprawl across the outskirts,
offering immense sustenance. Claim this fertile expanse and forge your path to
dominance."
30244 "The Passage - A narrow stretch of water separates you from your foes. This
narrow crossing is destined to become a battleground. Control the seas and claim
the sacred relics hidden in the deep."
30245 "Hollow Woodlands - Baobab trees mark your isolated haven, a pocket of life
within the unforgiving desert. Palm groves and elusive wildlife offer sustenance,
but the rough terrain hinders safety."
30246 "Karsts - The open wetlands and rugged karst formations beckon, surrounded by
glittering gold and sturdy stone deposits. Secure the riches, navigate the terrain,
and emerge victorious."

30257 "Select the age in which the game starts. Dark Age is the standard setting.
If you choose Castle Age, you start the game with all technology and unit upgrades
from the Feudal Age, but you must still research the Imperial Age. Post-Imperial
Age is the Imperial age with all of the tech trees already researched."

35928 "Joan of Arc:\nIt is a war that has lasted for one hundred years, and the
French have lost nearly every battle. Soon the English and their allies in Burgundy
will conquer all of France. The heir to the French monarchy is too cowardly to
ascend to the throne. The French army is wounded and tired and has given up all
hope. But in the darkest hour, a young peasant girl declares that she intends to
save France."
35958 "Saladin:\nOutraged that the Holy Land is ruled by Saracens, knights from
Europe have descended upon the Middle East in a series of Crusades. Now four
European kingdoms have sprung up in the desert. The Saracen king, Saladin, rallies
his troops in an attempt to drive back the invaders. In response to European
Crusades, the Saracens have organized a Jihad. In response to European vileness,
the once-cultured Saracens have become treacherous. But will it be enough to save
their homeland?"
35988 "Genghis Khan:\nThe nomadic tribes of the Asian steppes spent centuries
entangled in their own petty feuds until united under Genghis Khan. Within years, a
highly disciplined army pours out of Mongolia to embark on a campaign of world
conquest. But how can a tribe of horse archers possibly overcome the military might
of Persia and Eastern Europe, let alone the technologically advanced empires in
China?"
36018 "Barbarossa:\nCan the will of one man forge an empire? Frederick Barbarossa
attempts to force the squabbling German fiefdoms into his Holy Roman Empire, which
he then must defend from the machinations of the Italian city states and the pope
in Rome. And should he accomplish all of those feats, there is always the Third
Crusade to wage."

36138 "William Wallace (Learning Campaign):\nThe warriors of Scotland attempt to
hold off an invasion of the better-equipped English armies. Take command of the
highlanders, and learn the basic concepts of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition,
such as how to build an economy, how to train your soldiers and, most importantly,
how to fight and defeat your enemy. If you are new to real-time strategy games, you
will learn all you need to know. If you have played the original Age of Empires,
then you can skip ahead to new features, such as garrisoning and formations."
36166 "Learning Campaign"
36167 "Experienced Age of Empires players may start with Scenario 6 - Forge an
Alliance"
36228 "Attila the Hun:\nBarbarian hordes feast on the dying Roman empire. The most
dangerous of these invaders are the Huns and their ferocious king, Attila. After
pouring out of the Caspian steppes, looting and burning all the while, the Huns
become so powerful that the Roman Empire is forced to pay a tribute to Attila. But
the king of the Huns is still not satisfied, and he mobilizes his horsemen to
invade Gaul and eventually Rome itself! Can nothing stop the brutal Attila?"
36258 "El Cid:\nSpain is divided between Christian kingdoms to the north and
Moorish kingdoms to the south. In the barren borderlands of Castille, Rodrigo Díaz,
called El Cid, gains notoriety as a brilliant general and heroic crusader. The Cid
is so popular among soldiers and peasants alike that the distrustful King of
Castille sends him into exile. The Cid must join forces with his former enemies,
the Moors, and fight against his beloved Castille. But an even greater threat waits
across the sea in Africa, where fanatical Berber horsemen are eager to seize what
the Moors could not."
36288 "Montezuma:\nCenturies of conquest have allowed the Aztecs to become the
mightiest empire in Central America. But when strangers appear on the shores of the
Caribbean Sea, Montezuma, emperor of the Aztecs, is unsure whether they are
conquerors...or gods. Can a vast empire of warriors using obsidian spears and
cotton armor hold off mounted invaders armed with metal armor and gunpowder? Will
the Aztec island-city of Tenochtitlan continue to conquer the Americas, or will it
crumble beneath these foreign conquerors?"
36318 "The Conquerors:\nCertain names ring down through history as men and women
who shaped the world. Some were forces of chaos, destructive and rapacious. Some
were men of honor who fought for the right. Some defended their homelands from
invaders, while others used their military might to violently acquire the lands of
others. Battles such as Agincourt, Manzikert, and Hastings are remembered as
turning points in world history, and names such as Henry V, Yi Sun-shin, and Erik
the Red are etched forever as great conquerors. Now relive their tragedies and
triumphs. "
36428 "Alaric:\nThe trauma of the Hun invasion in the 4th century has shaped
Alaric, the fearsome warrior king of the Goths. Fleeing his ravaged homeland as a
child, Alaric spent the rest of his life searching for a new place to call home.
Can the beloved king secure a new homeland for his people in the territory of the
collapsing Roman Empire?"
36458 "Dracula:\nHistory forged an incredible legend around the man who ruled
Wallachia in the mid-15th century. Holding his ground against the vast armies of
the expanding Ottoman Empire, his cruel tactics made him the most feared man in all
of Eastern Europe. Shall his thirst for blood and the loyalty of his soldiers be
enough to hold the Turks back for good?"
36488 "Bari:\n400 years after the collapse of the Roman empire, Italy is still up
for grabs. In the deep south, Byzantines, Goths, Normans and Muslims all vie for
control of the port city of Bari. Relive the tale of the city from the point of
view of a Byzantine family, rising from the common soldiery to the nobility. But
beware, for not only Bari is at stake, but also control of Southern Italy."
36518 "Sforza:\nAfter witnessing the death of his father, the young captain did not
hesitate to take over command of his father's Condottieri. Always hungry for glory
and wealth, Sforza wanders around 15th century Italy, offering his services to the
highest bidder. Will he pick the right battles or make the wrong enemy? Take the
fate of the young mercenary captain in your hands."
36548 "El Dorado:\nJoin Francisco Orellana and Gonzalo Pizarro on their quest to
find El Dorado, the legendary Lost City of Gold, thought to be hidden somewhere in
the vast Amazon rain forest. Will their quest along the Amazon river lead to
lifelong prosperity or will they drown in their sorrow?"
36578 "Prithviraj:\nAs the 12th century comes to a close, India is divided between
the ruling Rajput clans. One of them, the Chauhans, have just been blessed with a
new king. His name is Prithviraj and his determination to unite the rival states is
unprecedented. But what happens when he falls in love with the daughter of his
enemy? And does he have the strength to stop a full-scale Muslim invasion from the
west?"
36608 "Battles of the Forgotten:\nTime has faded the names of many of the greatest
leaders ever known. During their age they were famed for their fierceness on the
battlefield, their just rule and their quest for power. Witness the path to glory
of Richard the Lionheart, Minamoto no Yoritomo, Sultan Osman Ghazi, Khosrau and
many more."

Center, ring the town bell again to send them back to work."

fight your enemies, you have all the basic skills you need to play a Random Map

Center. If you are low on food, build some additional Farms."

Blacksmith, don't you?"

forage bushes are depleted. Each Farm needs only one villager working on it."

should always upgrade soldiers when you can afford it."

spread that William Wallace (Yellow) is on his way with reinforcements. He is

camp in the west, but the road there is defended by English Guards (Red). Joan of

importantly, Rheims, if the French are to crown the dauphin. Chalons (Green),
Troyes (Orange) and Rheims (Yellow), the three towns occupied by the English, are
across the river and are well defended.\n\n- The English at Chalons will field
Knights and Scorpions, and even warships if threatened. Their town is unprotected
and can be easily reached by crossing the shallows.\n\n- Troyes is slightly better
defended, with walls and a Castle protecting the river crossing to the east.
However, they are not prepared for an attack from the flank. They will train
Pikemen and Knights to fight the French, but will also build warships if they feel
that they are about to lose control of the river.\n\n- Rheims is a walled city
protected by Castles and towers. The English garrison there will include
Longbowmen, Light Cavalry, Knights, Mangonels, and Trebuchets—a true challenge for

a real threat, but are in close proximity to two stronger duchies. They will train
Long Swordsmen and Battering Rams.\n\n- The Bavarians (Green) are one of the
stronger factions, as they control a walled town. Fielding Knights and Scorpions,
they are a formidable opponent.\n\n- The Duchy of Saxony (Yellow) has a fortified
town to the north and are strong enough to oppose Barbarossa head on. They use
Crossbowmen and Teutonic Knights in battle.\n\n- The Duchy of Lorraine (Orange) is
not as formidable, but they will conduct early raids. They will focus on Spearmen,
but will also train Knights and Mangonels given enough time.\n\n- The Bohemians
(Cyan) start off rather weak initially, but if left alone will grow into a strong
foe. Fielding two of the most powerful Castle Age units—Knights and Crossbowmen—
they are not to be underestimated.\n\n- The Burgundians (Purple) are one of the
weaker factions. They train Crossbowmen, Skirmishers, and Knights, but in low
numbers.\n\n- To the east towards Hungary, Cuman warriors (Grey) have been
spotted."

does not have a strong army, but their town is walled, which can prevent an early
Hunnic attack. Once you breach the gates, however, the town should crumble.\n\n-

field mostly camelry and siege units. The navy trains War Galleys and Pikemen. All
three of your enemies have walled cities with many towers, so try using Trebuchets

Berenguer (Purple). Berenguer has a well-fortified city in the north that will

63108 "1. The Visigoths are restricted to the Castle Age and a population limit of
120.\n\n2. You have no Villagers here in Greece. In order to replenish your troops,
you will need to sack the Greek towns.\n\n3. By placing your Huskarls right beneath
a Town Center, you can rapidly destroy it.\n\n4. Huskarls are excellent at
destroying buildings and fortifications, but they are no match against Cataphracts.
Consider training different types of units as well when facing the main Roman
force."
63109 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Visigoths (Green) are far from home and do not
have villagers or resources to construct a base. There are, however, several
locations where new soldiers can be recruited.\n\n- Additional resources and
buildings can be obtained by sacking the four Greek cities: Sparta, Argos, Corinth,
and Athens.\n\n- Sparta (Red) lies south of your starting position. Its defense
force of Knights, Pikemen, and Long Swordmen and should be relatively easy to
master. Its main economic activity is woodcutting.\n\n- To the east is Argos
(Yellow). A force of Light Cavalry, Elite Skirmishers, and Scorpions protects its
walls. Because of its access to the sea, it has a steady food income.\n\n- Corinth
(Blue) lies on the isthmus between the Peloponnese and the rest of Greece, which
makes it of important strategic value. It fields Knights and Crossbowmen. Although
it produces mostly wood, it is also known to be an important trade center. Securing
that trade will generate gold for the Visigoths.\n\n- The famed city of Athens
(Cyan) lies to the northeast of your camp, beyond Corinth, and cannot be reached
initially. It is defended by Light Cavalry and Long Swordsmen. It is said that
there is an important silver mine to the north of it. Although it does not generate
as much as it once did, seizing it will incur additional gold tribute from the
Athenians.\n\n- Eastern Roman defense forces (Purple and Grey) are scattered about
Greece to protect it from barbarian raids. However, their main army is coming in
from the northwest with the aim to end all raiding. It will train Knights, Long
Swordsmen, Monks, and, most dangerous of all, Cataphracts."

(210 in Imperial Age). Gunpowder is unavailable to the fifth century Goths.\n\n2.
As Italy has been weakened by several Germanic invasions, you can take your time to
build up your forces - the enemy will be slow in preparing theirs.\n\n3. Avoid
approaching Ravenna until the emperor is willing to speak with Alaric. The
Visigoths do not seek to destroy the Roman Empire, but simply to obtain a better
bargain from it. Nevertheless, sack the Roman cities in Northern Italy to
demonstrate your tenacity.\n\n4. The strength of the Visigoths lies in their
numbers."
63209 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Situated on the Adriatic coast, the city of
Aquileia (Blue) has rather strong fortifications. Taking it with just infantry and
no siege equipment might prove difficult. Aquileia will train Pikemen and
Crossbowmen.\n\n- South of the Visigoths is the city of Cremona (Yellow). Its
strength lies with its army of Knights, swordsmen, and Scorpions, which can counter
Gothic Huskarls. \n\n- Ataulf (Cyan) has taken control of part of the Gothic army
to assist Alaric. Once he is strong enough, he will deploy the typical flood of
infantry that the Goths are known for, but until that moment he will need support
and protection. \n\n- Rumor has it that the Gothic commander Sarus (Purple) has

directions. Alaric (Green) leads the main attack on the southern walls, while
Ataulf (Cyan) attacks the western walls and another section of the Visigothic army
(Yellow) attacks the eastern walls. Ataulf and the Visigoth army have sent word
that they are ready to breach the enemy walls. All that they await is Alaric's

cities of Gaul.\n\n3. The Romans are still recovering from the sack of Rome, but

Gaul as well. Although it is not critical, it may be a good idea to get rid of this
traitor once and for all.\n\n5. The enemy will try to overrun your position early
on, so you need to prepare your defenses quickly. After the situation has
stabilized, make use of the Goths' strengths to quickly mass a huge infantry army
and overwhelm your enemies with your superior numbers."
63409 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Western Roman Army (Blue) is reeling from its
defeats in Italy, but it still has a large army in Iberia where it was sent to deal
with the Vandal and Suebi invaders. Now that Rome has been sacked, it may return to
Gaul. It consists of Cataphracts, swordsmen, and Halberdiers. \n\n- The city of
Narbo (Red), one of your targets, lies to the south near the Mediterranean Sea. It
will field Arbalesters, Light Cavalry, and rams.\n\n- To the north is the city of
Valentia (Yellow). It will field infantry and heavy cavalry.\n\n- The last of the
three Gallic cities, which the Romans call Tolosa (Cyan), lies to the far west.
Tolosa is one of the strongest of the enemy cities, as it trains Paladins, Throwing
Axemen, Monks, and Trebuchets. \n\n- Finally, Sarus (Purple) is familiar with the
Visigoth tactics and will try to match our large infantry armies with his own. It
is unlikely, that his soldiers will continue fighting once he is dead, however, so
slaying him should be a priority."

strongest Ottoman citadel is Darstor. It is well fortified and has a strong

so it would be wise to attack these towns first to weaken Darstor's garrison."

northwest of Giurgiu after ambushing a Turkish regiment and is poised to raid the
Danube region and northern Bulgaria. The city of Giurgiu (Purple) is well fortified
but has few defenders, so if the Wallachians can acquire siege equipment it should
be easy to take the city and use it as a base from which to raid the region.\n\n-

have a highly mobile army consisting of Magyar Huszars, Cavalry Archers, and
Knights.\n\n- East of Giurgiu, Obluciza (Green) is mining the rich stone deposits
north of their city. This stone is used by the local towns to fortify themselves
against Vlad's raids. Their Boyars, Archers, and Monks will not be easy to deal
with.\n\n- Across the river, in northern Bulgaria, the village of Novoselo (Orange)
is known for its fertile farmland. This food is sent directly to the Turkish
garrisons. Only defended by Skirmishers and Light Cavalry, Novoselo is a rather
easy target.\n\n- West of Darstor lies the Bulgarian village of Rahova (Cyan),
famed for its rich gold mines. Their gold finances all unique units in the region,
but most importantly the Janissaries in Darstor. The village relies on infantry for
its defense, but if given time it will also build rams and go on the offensive.\n\
n- All of Vlad's adversaries will construct warships so long as they have the
supplies for them."
63710 "<RED>Scout: My lord! I have scouted the fortress of Giurgiu but it is well-
defended. We will need siege weapons to take it."

have!"

you can find it in your heart to spare us!"

63723 "<RED>Scout: Bringing down those towns and fortresses one by one will be
difficult. We could scout their lands to find ways to exploit their weaknesses."
63724 "<RED>Scout: Orsova is known for its wood production. The whole region
depends on its lumber to build their ships."
63725 "<RED>Scout: This is Oblucitza's stone quarry. Without it, our enemies will
not be able to build more towers."
63726 "<RED>Scout: The gold from the mines of Rahova is used to pay the wages of
the Ottoman soldiers. If we destroy the mining camps, they will no longer afford to
field elite troops."
63727 "<RED>Scout: Much of the food supply in the region comes from Novoselo. If we
destroy all of their mills, the enemy will be unable to feed as many men as they
would like."

prohibits the production of Trebuchets, rams, warships, and Petards.\n\n2. The
Ottoman siege camps are bristling with fortifications. Assaulting them would be
suicide.\n\n3. The combination of spring rains and sabotage has rendered most local
fords and bridges impassible. This has isolated the enemy forces and funneled them
into Vlad's fortresses, but it has also made each fortress more difficult to
reinforce.\n\n4. Take advantage of the unique geography near each fortress to harry
enemy forces and soften their attacks.\n\n5. The Wallachian peasants are known
double-dealers. Weigh their utility to you against the threat of well-fed enemies."
63809 "Your scouts report:\n\n- To defend Wallachia from the Turks, Vlad Dracula
(Red) has manned three fortresses: Fagaras in the open north, Rasnov in the
forested east, and his citadel at Poenari in the mountainous southwest. These are
besieged from all directions:\n\n- Radu Bey (Cyan), Dracula's rival brother,
attacks Fagaras from the west and north with Boyars, Pikemen, and rams.\n\n- The
main Ottoman army (Purple) threatens Rasnov from the east with Cavalry Archers,
Knights, and Petards, but may also construct Trebuchets.\n\n- Sultan Mehmed II 'the
Conqueror' (Blue) marches on Poenari from the south. His elite vanguard consists of
Long Swordsmen, Janissaries, and Bombard Cannons.\n\n- Several Wallachian villages
(Yellow) are supplying Dracula's forces and are also potential trading partners.
These will be preyed upon at sporadic intervals by Ottoman raiding parties of
Akinci cavalry (Grey).\n\n- Hungary (Green) has pledged to aid Dracula against the
Turks, but has sent no word as of late."

threat, mounting attacks from several camps south of the Danube. They will train
Skirmishers, Knights, Spearmen, and siege units.\n\n- Hungary (Green) is your
strongest ally, and will support you with heavy cavalry and siege units if they can
acquire a base.\n\n- Guarded by a token force, the valuable Turkish fortress of
Sabac (Grey) lies in the center of the map.\n\n- A small Wallachian town (Yellow)
in the northwest is eager to help Dracula reclaim the throne.\n\n- The puppet

Saracens succeed in wiping out your ally's siege camp.\n\n3. Do not hesitate to
construct Fishing Ships. The ocean offers plenty of food.\n\n4. As with any battle,
tactics are important. Use proper counter units when possible. Pikemen are more
effective against cavalry than Crossbowmen or swordsmen, and Cataphracts are
versatile troops that are especially deadly to infantry."
64009 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Panos Nautikos and his army (Purple) have arrived
at the coast in the south to come to the aid of Emperor Louis II.\n\n- Emperor
Louis II (Blue) is currently besieging Bari (Red), which lies to the east and is
occupied by the Saracen Emirate (Green). Louis will train Pikemen, Crossbowmen,
heavy cavalry, and swordsmen to defend his siege camp. Although he commands a
disciplined army, he may occasionally rely on Byzantine help to fend off Saracen
attacks.\n\n- The Saracen Army (Yellow) has erected four camps near Bari,
threatening Louis' forces. The Saracens will launch attacks against both you and
the Franks. Their army consists of Pikemen, Genitours, camelry, mounted archers,
Light Cavalry and Knights. It is quite likely that they will also construct siege
weapons such as Battering Rams.\n\n- Matera (Orange) lies to the west. The city is
allied with the Saracens and will train Genoese Crossbowmen, Archers and Spearmen.\
n\n- Oria (Cyan) is situated to the north. Just like Bari, it is currently
controlled by a Saracen garrison but its inhabitants will surely join your side

Here Michael could pitch his camp to organize the resistance to Melus.\n\n- A

they will assist you—if you are willing to pay them, of course.\n\n- The traitor
Melus is no longer a threat, but his brother Dattus (Orange) has sworn to continue

ten times over against the Holy Roman forces. Montjoie!"

all the power and profitable contracts that status would provide.\n\n- Piccinino

65008 "1. You are restricted to the Castle Age and to a population limit of 125.\n\
n2. Apart from llamas, fish can also be an excellent source of food, especially in
the beginning of the game. The Incas can build fishing ships, but don't know how to
construct war vessels yet.\n\n3. Strategically placed walls can be very beneficial
and can minimize the risk of getting overrun by your opponents.\n\n4. You do not
have to exterminate your enemies completely. To win, you only have to take
posession of at least three artifacts."
65009 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Inca (Cyan) have established a small camp to
the Southeast of the map. They will need to fortify their settlement soon to be
secure against attacks.\n\n- The Cuyos (Blue) control the west of the map. Their
army, mostly consisting of Slingers, Skirmishers and rams, is well-trained and can
pose a threat to you. Allegedly, the Cuyos are in possession of at least one
artifact.\n\n- The Tambos (Purple) are a rather insignificant tribe, living in the
Southwest. It should be easy to defeat them for they have very few warriors who are
moreover poorly equipped. It's possible that they own an artifact though.\n\n- The
Quechua (Orange) might attack you in the beginning, but have an open mind about
forming an alliance with the Incas. They will train Skirmishers, Archers, swordsmen
and Eagle Warriors.\n\n- In the north, the Chanca (Red) have built a strong
fortress. Since the Chanca are an expanding power, it is very likely that they will
become your main opponent. They will send Archers, Eagle Warriors and Kamayuks into
battle. It would not be surprising if the Chanca had also succeeded in capturing an
artifact."
65010 "<AQUA>Eagle Warrior: Without the blessing of the Gods, the power of the Inca
will sit on a foundation of sand. Let us capture as many holy artifacts as we can

rivers. It could be of advantage to secure fords with walls and gates.\n\n4. The
Inca can't build docks or war vessels to protect their city for Cuzco is located in
the highlands.\n\n5. Your allies will provide you with food and lumber as long as
you protect them from the Chanca invaders."
65109 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Inca army (Cyan) has assembled in the West of
Cuzco to face the Chanca forces.\n\n- Cuzco (Blue), the Inca capital, is located to
the northeast. The city is not very fortified yet and therefore could easily be
taken by the Chanca. An enemy commando operation has already succeeded in
destroying the Temple of the Sun, the town's landmark.\n\n- The Chanca (Red) have
built a circumvallation around Cuzco and will soon attempt to take the city by
assault. Their army consists of Archers, Slingers, Eagle Warriors, swordsmen and
Skirmishers. It is very likely that they will also make use of siege weapons, such
as rams and Mangonels.\n\n- The elite of the Chanca warriors (Purple) is led by
Anccu Hualloc himself, whose main camp is in the south. Anccu Hualloc will send
Kamayuks, Slingers and especially Onagers and Capped Rams into battle. It might be
that he will also decree the deployment of Trebuchets.\n\n- The tribes of Cana
(Orange) and Canchi (Green) are allies of the Inca. They barely have soldiers, but
they will try to support the defenders of Cuzco by supplying them with resources.
If attacked, they will need your support, as neither the Cana nor the Canchi will

To end the civil war, Urqu must be killed. Focus on this objective.\n\n5. Your
opponents will behave rather wait-and-see. However, it is possible that enemy

mountains. However, his troops initially have no Villagers and no siege weapons.\n\
n- Urqu (Yellow) hides in the east, in the mountain fortress Calas (Green), which
is defended by Archers and Swordsmen.\n\n- To stop Pachacuti's army, Urqu has
stationed many of his men (Blue) in the mountains to lure Pachacuti into an ambush.
You'll have to expect attacks from Skirmishers, Slingers, Archers, Spearmen and
Eagle Warriors.\n\n- Most of the Chanca soldiers (Red) have withdrawn after the
defeat of Cuzco. However, a few warriors are still in the region. If you find a
Chanca camp, you can plunder it.\n\n- Pachacuti's exploits are on everyone's lips,
therefore Locals (Grey) will join your troops when they set eyes on their hero. In
this way you can get villagers and buildings. Leaderless Inca soldiers (Purple)
will also join you when they meet Pachacuti. In this way you can gain access to

possession of relics for example, unless your opponents are faster."
65309 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Inca armies (Cyan) have mustered in the east
and south. You should start by building two base camps before invading the Chanca
territories.\n\n- To the north is the capital of the Chanca, Waman Karpa (Purple).
The city is heavily fortified, so make sure you bring along siege weapons. The army
of Waman Karpa is composed of Archers, Battering Rams and infantry such as Kamayuks
and Eagle Warriors.\n\n- Andahuaylas (Green) is located in the southwest and will
attack early. The city will train Skirmishers, Slingers and Scorpions, but will
also build rams if given enough time. In addition, Andahuaylas also has a few
warships. If the Inca build a fleet as well, Andahuaylas will send its vessels into
battle.\n\n- Another important city of the Chanca is Abancay (Blue), which is
located in the east. The city is less fortified than Waman Karpa, but has a well-
trained army and a small fleet guarding the city's docks. Abancay will mainly be
sending Eagle Warriors, Pikemen and Mangonels.\n\n- Anccu Hualloc (Red/Orange) has
built a fortress in the center of the map, in which he entrenched himself with his
army. Anccu Hualloc's forces consist of Archers, Eagle and Jaguar Warriors, as well
as several warships. If the Inca manage to kill Anccu Hualloc, this would damage
the morale and discipline of the defenders of Waman Karpa.\n\n- The tribes of the
Colla (Grey) were recently subjugated by the Inca and are obliged to participate in
the war against the Chanca by sending troops. Once the Colla have sent
reinforcements, you will be in charge to command their warriors.\n\n- The local
priesthood (Yellow) regard the Inca with favor. Maybe the priests can be convinced
to join your army."
65310 "<AQUA>Vicaquirao: We have forced our way deep into the land of the Chanca.
Waman Karpa, the enemy capital, is now within our reach. We will need to conquer it
to end this war once and for all!"

no Villagers.\n\n- To the west lies the city of Pachacamac (Green), which is
located at the coast. The chiefs of the city have promised to let the Inca army
enter their city. In case they do not keep their word, the Incas will have to
conquer Pachacamac. The army of the city consists of Plumed Archers and swordsmen.
If these are defeated, only a few soldiers will remain to defend the city.\n\n- To
the north is the Kingdom of Chimor, which is defended by a powerful army (Orange)
that owns three large base camps. The Chimú Army also controls the cisterns that
provide their kingdom with drinking water. Should it come to a fight, the Chimú
will send Slingers, Archers and Swordsmen as well as siege weapons into battle.\n\

- preferably on a hill - or run. Although he cannot outrun the beast for very long,
even a few moments will help him recover his health.\n\n3. The Rajput clans war
with each other as much as with Prithviraj. Take advantage of this infighting by
striking your enemies when they attack each other.\n\n4. The Chaulukya, Soomra, and
Lohara will become your allies when their Kings are dead. Take care to not cause
too much destruction in their lands.\n\n5. Though Jayachandra is your chief rival,
it is not necessary to defeat him – killing the rajas is sufficient to achieve

steady supply of food."

him back to Ajmer. He will need to defeat the rival rajas to rule Rajasthan.\n\n-
Jayachandra (Red) has begun his conquests by seizing the territory between the
Ganga and Yamuna Rivers - perilously close to Ajmer. His army is diverse but he
prizes his Elephant Archers above all.\n\n- The Chaulukya (Purple) command the seas
from the Gujarat Peninsula southwest of Ajmer. They have a formidable navy and
armies of camels and cavalry.\n\n- The Soomra (Yellow) control the Indus River from
their coastal base in the delta to the west. They have borrowed cavalry and archer
tactics from their former Muslim overlords.\n\n- The Lohara (Cyan) defend the
Kashmiri mountains to the north with infantry, skirmishers, siege, and Monks.\n\n-
Finally, Dacoits (Orange) roam the deserts. Although they normally ambush passing
travellers, they have recently overwhelmed Paramara (Green), whose terrorized

at war means that you are restricted to a population limit of 125 and cannot build
a Town Center or Castle. However, the rajas do have this knowledge, so each one
that you convert will give you access to new technologies and 25 extra population
space. Castles can only be built once all rajas are converted.\n\n2. Take care to
not cause too much destruction when attacking the Indian Dynasties. Once you
convert each raja, his buildings will become yours. Rapidly taking over the Indian
states may seem appealing given the benefits, but it will also extend your frontier
and aggravate your neighbors.\n\n3. The first raja that you convert will share his
unique wisdom with you. Bhima is an expert horse rider; Subhatavarman is a pious
man who believes in infantry tactics; Paramardi is a master of the bow; and
Vijayasimha is specialized in siege tactics. Subsequent conversions still yield
benefits but are no longer specific.\n\n4. Killing a raja instead of converting him
will not bring defeat, but you will not receive his buildings.\n\n5. The Ghorids
are occupied with wars abroad and thus cannot mount a large-scale invasion, but

continued disorder, however, and will try to stop Chand Bardai. The Yadava (Green)
invade from the west with Camel Riders, Cavalry Archers, and Elephant Archers.\n\n-
The Chola (Yellow), once rulers of South India, have been weakened by foreign wars.

of the Silk Road will turn a great profit.\n\n6. Cavalry Archers dominate these
plains - countering them with Halberdiers and Elite Skirmishers will be the most

defending a ford against the forces of Calakmul but the Calakmul army outnumbers
them.\n\n- Dos Pilas (Yellow) is a small city aligned with its founding city,
Tikal. Dos Pilas will train Eagle Warriors, Spearmen and Archers.\n\n- Tikal
(Orange) is a huge city located to the east. They will train a host of different
units like Eagle Warriors, Monks, Skirmishers and Scorpions. Their unique unit, the
Slinger, will tear apart any infantry which comes near it.\n\n- Calakmul (Purple)
is another colossal city, located in the north of Dos Pilas. Just as Tikal, their
military will be diverse, training Eagle Warriors, Monks, Archers Swordmen and
Mangonels. Their unique unit, the Jaguar Warrior, will be a pain to fight against
in hand to hand combat. Taking them out from a distance with our archers is the
best option.\n\n- Uaxactun (Blue) is another small city siding with Tikal. They
will be training a small army of swordsmen, Spearmen, rams and Archers to fight
their opponents.\n\n- Naranjo (Red) is probably the smallest city in the area.
Their military consists of Eagle Warriors, Plumed Archers, mangonels and Archers.
The ruler of Naranjo is not aggressive and prefers to focus on defences.\n\n- The
Mayan Raiders (Green) are a pain for everyone. They roam the countryside around Dos
Pilas and harass unsuspecting victims. It is believed they are being paid by either

the British Isles, with the task of scouting the region and finding a location to
establish a camp.\n\nThe British Isles are inhabited by several potential
adversaries:\n\n- In the northeast, York, the heavily fortified capital of the
Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria (Yellow) is the principal target of the Viking
army. Northumbria trains infantry, cavalry, and Monks, and also has a navy.\n\n-
The vulnerable Anglo-Saxon kingdom of East Anglia (Orange) lies to the east. Its
forces are composed of swordsmen, archery units, and ships.\n\n- The formidable
Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia (Blue) dominates the center of the map. Mercia trains
ranged units and cavalry.\n\n- Located to the southeast, the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of
Wessex is by far your most dangerous adversary. Wessex relies on a variety of
infantry units and has a sizeable navy.\n\n- The Briton, Scottish, and Welsh lords
(Green) ruling much of the land in western Britain command fearless armies of
infantry and javelineers as well as a handful of ships.\n\n- The Northern Irish
Kingdoms (Purple) lie in the west of the map. Their forces consist of infantry,
siege units, and warships.\n\n- The Southern Irish Kingdoms (Grey) control the
southwest portion of the map. They field armies of cavalry and infantry, and have
begun the construction of a navy."

66302 "Bulgaria"
66303 "Great Moravia"
66304 "Avars"
66305 "Byzantines"
66308 "1. The Magyars can support a population limit of 100 when nomadic and 150
when sedentary. There are other restrictions as well (unique to this scenario),
since they are a nomadic people. For example, the Castle Age research will only
become available once the Avars are defeated, and the Imperial Age research will
only become available once one of the other main factions—Great Moravia, East
Francia, or the Bulgarians—is defeated.\n\n2. The Magyars gain resources from
looting enemy buildings, and sending captured animals to their pen. They also
capture enemy Villagers when they destroy an enemy Town Center.\n\n3. Think
carefully about when you want to build your Town Center. You will lose the benefits
of the nomadic way of life, and the conversion to a sedentary lifestyle will be
slow. However, it will be difficult to hold on to nomadism for the entire game.\n\
n4. The enemy will not sit idle while you raid, so keep them on their toes and
harass their economies to keep them weak.\n\n5. The Bulgarians are a tempting
target for raids, so you could consider opening hostilities and attacking their
lands. Just be careful to not take on too many enemies at once."
66309 "Your scout reports:\n\n- The Magyars (Cyan) have left their old homeland on
the steppe in exchange for the rich pastures of the Carpathian Basin in Eastern
Europe. They rely on livestock and raiding to fuel their expansion - if that
ceases, the only way to survive will be to become like the Europeans and build Town
Centers, Houses, Castles, and Farms.\n\n- The Avars (Orange) reside next to the
Magyars. Once a powerful nomadic people themselves, they are now scattered and
weak. It is advisable to raid and pillage their camps in order to grow stronger.
Their army consists of Cavalry Archers, Scout Cavalry, and Tarkans.\n\n- To the
north, Great Moravia (Yellow) dominated Bohemia and its surrounding lands for
centuries, but they too have become weak because of internal conflicts and
rivalries with their neighbors. They have a few Castles, but those can be easily
evaded. The Moravians train swordsmen and Pikemen, which are no match for the
Magyar mobile cavalry forces.\n\n- East Francia (Red) lies to the west and is one
of the strongest powers in the region. Previously part of the great Carolingian
Empire, they remain powerful even after its division and can field a powerful army
behind the strong fortifications that defend their lands. They will train
Crossbowmen, Skirmishers, heavy cavalry, Teutonic Knights, and Mangonels.\n\n- The
Bulgarians (Green) to the south have no quarrel with the Magyars and are on
friendly terms. However, that does not mean that they should be left in peace. They
have many fortified bases, but their villages are poorly defended. They will train
swordsmen, Light Cavalry, and Konniks.\n\n- There are rumors that the Byzantines
(Blue) have sent a delegation to these lands to seek allies in their war against
the Bulgarians. Their proposal may be of interest to the Magyars."
66310 "<AQUA>Magyar Horseman: We are the ten arrows that will strike Europe! We
will take this land by force!"

may have something to offer us."
66313 "<BLUE>Byzantine Commander: Our emperor is prepared to pay you 2,000 gold if
you declare war on the Bulgarians. On top of that, he will pay you 500 gold for
every Bulgarian fortification that you destroy."
66314 "<AQUA>Magyar Horseman: These Avars were like us once, but they grew soft and
weak from the plunder that they gained. A wise lesson is to be learned here."
66315 "<AQUA>Magyar Horseman: This land belongs to our people now, and Europe is
open for us to plunder!"

Francia.)"

Kurikara are crawling with Taira troops. Taking the most direct route to the city

unable to rebuild any buildings."

to aid the defenders of Kurikara (Purple), a walled city in the northeast loyal to
Minamoto and under the command of his cousin Yoshinaka.\n\n- The Hojo Clan (Yellow)
has a city in the east under the sovereignty of their lord Tokimasa, whose motives
are unknown. Their army consists of cavalry and siege units.\n\n- Based in several
camps scattered across the center of the map, the Taira Army (Orange) will be your
primary opponent early on. They train Light Cavalry, Spearmen, and Crossbowmen, but
may also field Samurai.\n\n- The Taira Guards (Green) patrol the countryside with
cohorts of infantry, and their Villagers are feeding and supplying the Taira
forces.\n\n- Surrounded by a moat and heavily fortified, the Taira capital of Kyoto
(Cyan) has yet to be captured by an invading army. Should the walls be breached,
legions of Samurai, Halberdiers, and Cavalry Archers will rush to the defense.\n\n-
The Taira armies are commanded by fierce warlords and princes (Red), not the least
of them the statesman Taira no Koremori. Killing the princes commanding the Taira

66609 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Osman (Red) and his Ottoman soldiers initially
reside in the Rum Sultanate (Purple) to the east. The Sultanate has been overrun by
the Mongols, and so Osman must go west to claim the lands of his family.\n\n- The
Byzantine Empire (Blue) has several fortified cities to the northwest, which are
vulnerable now that the Empire is weak. The Byzantines defend their cities with a
force of Cataphracts, Pikemen and Skirmishers. Rumor has it that the Byzantines
have hired Europeans from Iberia to fight for them.\n\n- There are three minor
Turkish factions in the region: Karesi to the west, Germiyan to the south and
Candar to the east.\n\n- Karesi (Green) is the only Turkish faction with access to
the water, and will construct warships to contest the Byzantine supremacy at sea.
Their land force consists of Skirmishers, Cavalry Archers, Hussars, and siege
units. Later, they will replace their Skirmishers with Hand Cannoneers.\n\n-
Germiyan (Yellow) has a strong nomadic tradition and it is said that their horse
archers never miss their mark. They will field an army of Light Cavalry, Camel
Riders, and Cavalry Archers that they will use to launch regular raids on their
enemies.\n\n- Candar (Cyan) has adopted the use of heavy cavalry and fortifications
almost on par with those of the Europeans. Relying on their defenses, they will
take their time before engaging their enemies in the field. They will train an army
of swordsmen and heavy cavalry."

soldiers ahead to help your navy pass the Han blockade. You should look for them.\
n\n3. You can either destroy all enemy towers and ships blockading the lake, or, if
you are running out of time, use your own ships to distract the enemy vessels by
letting them take enemy fire.\n\n4. Shipments for the city of Nanchang are being
sent from all directions, and they will arrive in different places on the lake.
Make sure to clear the blockades in time, as you will lose if any shipment is
sunk.\n\n5. It is possible to bribe the nearby pirates to help you fight the Han,

west. Between them and the city of Nanchang is a blockade formed by the Han Navy
(Orange).\n\n- Nanchang (Yellow) is to the far south and has sent word that they
have prepared the location where the great temple will be built. They are only
waiting for the Ming navy and the construction materials to arrive.\n\n- The Han
Admiral Chen (Red) has built fortifications on the lake's coasts and is preparing

66808 "1. The Berber army is restricted to the Castle Age and its population limit
is 120. Furthermore, this campaign is set centuries before the use of gunpowder in
Europe.\n\n2. The Berbers have access to a wide array of cavalry units that are
light, inexpensive, and excel at outmaneuvering and countering most enemy units.
Needless to say, they should form the core of your fighting force.\n\n3. The city
of Cordoba and the Visigoth fortresses are well-fortified. You will require well-
supported siege equipment to breach them.\n\n4. Fish are abundant in the Atlantic
Ocean and the Alboran Sea, but beware of marauding Visigoth warships.\n\n5. If you
run low on gold, you can trade across the sea with the Berber city of Ceuta to the
south. Unguarded pirate hoards are also rumored to be located on various islands."
66809 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Tariq Ibn Ziyad's army (Yellow) has landed at
Gibraltar and must defeat the army of the Visigoth king Roderic (Green) in order to
establish a foothold in the region.\n\n- The army of the Visigoth king Roderic
(Green) has assembled on the far side of the ford in the northwest and is comprised
mainly of infantry units with a few supporting cavalry and ranged units. It is
loosely unified, however, and will be demoralized beyond help should their leader
fall in battle.\n\n- A pair of Visigoth fortresses (Cyan) in the northeast watch
over much of the region, and their troops will aggressively resist any invader. The
core of their armies is infantry, but they will employ small contingents of Light
Cavalry and siege engines as well, and send warships to attack by sea.\n\n- In the
north lies the well-fortified city of Cordoba (Purple), which must be taken if the
Berber army is to control southern Iberia. Legions of Knights, Crossbowmen,
Pikemen, and Monks will provide staunch resistance on the land, while their
warships will defend the city from amphibious incursions.\n\n- There are a couple
of local villages (Grey) spread across the region that may be willing to aid your
war effort once Roderic's army is defeated.\n\n"
66810 "<YELLOW>Berber Horseman: Our great leader has been wounded! We must carry on

66908 "1. The army of Tariq ibn Ziyad cannot yet reach the Imperial Age, but its
population limit is 200. Additionally, Tariq's shipbuilders did not travel with him
on this expedition, so building Docks or ships is impossible.\n\n2. Strike quickly
at Toledo - the Visigoth garrison is weak, but messengers have been sent out to the
surrounding towns and will return with reinforcements if you wait too long.\n\n3.
Mountainous regions are rich in mineral resources. Additionally, if you run low on
gold, you can trade with the city of Cordoba or a local trade post east of Toledo.\
n\n4. Visit the locals in the countryside - they may have interesting information
to share.\n\n5. The enemy towns are preparing to build Wonders as a mark of
defiance - do not allow them to do so!"
66909 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The army of Tariq ibn Ziyad (Yellow) has gathered
on a promontory just southeast of the city of Toledo (Grey), the Visigoth capital,
which lies in the center of the map.\n\n- The Visigoth garrison of Toledo (Green)
represents only a token defense of the city, and is comprised of infantry, Archers,
and a few Scorpions. They have also erected several makeshift towers guarding the
main gates and the bridge across the river Tagus.\n\n- The city of Cordoba and
several local settlements (Orange) are situated in the east of the map. They will
serve as valuable trade partners should your gold supply run low.\n\n\nFour of the
surrounding fortified towns pose significant threats:\n\n- Seville (Blue) lies far
to the south, and will field armies of Crossbowmen, Light Cavalry, Pikemen, and a
few siege units.\n\n- Merida (Red) is situated in the southwest, and its formidable
fortress complex is guarded primarily by Huskarls, Long Swordsmen, and Cavalry
Archers.\n\n- Talavera (Purple) controls the far west of the map, and trains
Knights, Light Cavalry, Skirmishers, siege units, and will also build ships to
harass you from the river.\n\n- Guadalajara (Cyan) lies far to the north. Their
army is composed of Huskarls, Pikemen, Skirmishers, and siege units. A small
military camp also guards the mines in the mountains east of Toledo."

we can truly establish our rule here."

at Cordoba. They should arrive to reinforce us in 30 minutes."

67008 "1. The Umayyad-Berber army can advance to the Imperial Age and support a
population of 200.\n\n2. Your bases are divided and cannot be connected until the
two southernmost Asturian fortresses are destroyed. Difficult as it might be,
preserving both bases is vital due to their economic and strategic value.\n\n3. You
can ignore the Kingdom of Asturias if you like, but its control of strategic
locations and constant raids on your flank might make them a necessary target. Each
Asturian fortress is also home to a precious holy relic - capturing them can
greatly boost your gold income.\n\n4. In addition to being a potential trade
partner, Theodemir of Murcia has pledged to occasionally provide your armies with
tribute and military support.\n\n5. The Mediterranean Sea is an abundant source of
fish, and a trade route to the Balearic Islands would be quite lucrative, provided
that you can defend it from enemy vessels."
67009 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Umayyad-Berber army (Yellow) advances in a two-
pronged assault on northeastern Iberia. One camp, situated in the south of the map,
is poised to strike at the Visigothic cities of Zaragoza and Narbonne, while the
other is located in the far west near the Kingdom of Asturias.\n\n- To the far
south lies the Visigothic realm of Murcia (Orange), an ally and dependency of the
Umayyad Caliphate.\n\n- The city of Zaragoza (Green) guards the easternmost
crossing of the Ebro river. Zaragoza will field an army of Knights, Pikemen, and
Skirmishers, and a small navy safeguards the city from seaborne incursions up the
Ebro river.\n\n- The city of Narbonne (Cyan) lies in the far northeast of the map
on the Mediterranean coastline. Their army consists of infantry supported by
auxiliary Light Cavalry. Their navy prowls the Mediterranean, eager to harass any
attempts at fishing and trade.\n\n- The Kingdom of Asturias (Red) is by far the
greatest threat. Multiple fortresses in strategic locations sprawl over the western
half of the map, and their army of infantry, cavalry, and powerful siege engines
will present a serious challenge to your forces.\n\n- The locals (Grey) on the
Balearic Islands in the east of the map are willing trade partners and may allow
you to use their mines."
67010 "<YELLOW>Berber Horseman: Our armies are poised to launch an offensive across
the Ebro valley and into Septimania."
67011 "<YELLOW>Berber Horseman: The cities of Zaragoza and Narbonne stand in our

67103 "Asturians"
67104 "Basques"
67105 "Visigoths"
67108 "1. Navigating the terrain of the Pyrenees is difficult. Get accustomed to
tight mountain passes and adapt your strategy accordingly.\n\n2. The enemy
fortresses nestled in the mountains are nigh impregnable. If you encounter one,
turning around and finding another route is the best course of action.\n\n3. You
have no way of researching upgrades, but local villages may be impressed by your
army and supply you with the upgrades you need.\n\n4. Protect your ranged units -
their tactical value increases exponentially in this land of cliff paths and narrow
passes.\n\n5. Throughout most of the map, the high walls of the mountains will
protect your troops from the worst of the elements. Cliffed passes, however, are
treacherous and exposed to the harsh winds. Units lingering in them for too long
will begin to suffer damage due to exposure to the cold."
67109 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The army of Abd ar-Rahman al-Ghafiqi (Yellow) has
assembled near a local village just south of the Pyrenees. Their objective is to
cross the treacherous region and rendezvous with the Umayyad soldiers (Orange) who
have made camp north of the mountain range.\n\n- A few local villages (Grey) dot
the map, overlooking important junctions and mountain passes. Their location makes
them apt resting places but seemingly little more.\n\nThree enemies pose a
significant threat to the Umayyad army as it crosses the Pyrenees:\n\n- The
Asturians (Red) are only a faint presence in this region, but their fortified
bastion in the center of the map and well trained, heavily armored troops
nevertheless pose a threat worth considering.\n\n- The Visigoths (Purple) prowl the
eastern Pyrenees and are based in a fortress overlooking one of the major eastern
passes. Their balanced army of infantry, ranged units, and cavalry will provide
stout opposition to any who would pass their way.\n\n- The Basques (Green) are
native to the western Pyrenees. Their army of light infantry, javelineers, and
cavalry would normally only pose a token threat, but their adept strategic use of
the terrain makes them deadly to even a better-equipped force."
67110 "<YELLOW>al-Ghafiqi: An Asturian fortress lies just ahead. We do not have the
means to capture it - we should turn around!"
67111 "<YELLOW>al-Ghafiqi: This road leads to two enemy fortresses! Turn around at
once!"
67112 "<YELLOW>al-Ghafiqi: Just beyond this outpost lies a Visigoth fortress! We
must find another route."
67113 "<YELLOW>Berber Horseman: Sire, this road leads south into the maw of an
enemy fortress! North is the way we want."
67114 "<YELLOW>Berber Horseman: A dreaded enemy fortress lies just down the road.
Our destination is north, not south!"
67115 "<YELLOW>al-Ghafiqi: The main road to the southeast is guarded by two enemy
fortresses. We must take the mountain pass to the northeast!"
67116 "<GREY>Visigoth: The passes through the Pyrenees are treacherous and crawling

67208 "1. al-Ghafiqi's army can support a population of 200.\n\n2. Upon the
destruction of an enemy Monastery, an enemy army will rush from the nearest enemy
city or fortress to the village you are attacking. These armies are too strong to
fight and should be avoided at all costs.\n\n3. There are three suitable locations
for you to establish your camp - one in the far south of the map, one in the east
of the map, or you can choose to expand the camp you begin the scenario with. Each
choice has different benefits and drawbacks.\n\n4. Fishing is plentiful in the Bay
of Biscay, although your enemies will do their best to harass your fleet.\n\n5. Do
not attempt to attack the fortresses of the Frankish army or the citadel of
Bordeaux without advanced siege equipment.\n\n6. Several Relics lie scattered
around the map - some within the walls of Frankish fortresses, and some nestled in
the countryside."
67209 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The army of Abd ar-Rahman al-Ghafiqi (Yellow) has
made camp in the south of Aquitania and has been conducting raids while awaiting
reinforcements. Its sights are set in particular on the Frankish city of Bordeaux.\
n\n- Three Aquitanian villages (Purple) lie in close proximity to the Berber camp.
They are providing the Franks with supplies but are only defended by a token force
and should crumble easily to a swift raid.\n\n- The city of Bordeaux (Blue) lies
near the mouth of the Garonne river, boasting excellent fortifications and a strong
land army of mixed composition. Their navy prowls the Bay of Biscay, picking off
enemy ships at will.\n\n- The Frankish army (Red) is by far your most dangerous
opponent. Numerous fortresses sprawl across the countryside, and hordes of battle-
hardened Paladins, Throwing Axemen, swordsmen, and auxiliary troops will be a true
test for the proud Berber cavalry."
67210 "<YELLOW>al-Ghafiqi: Three nearby villages supply the Frankish army with
resources. We should pillage them before we set up our camp."
67211 "<YELLOW>Berber Horseman: We have the resources to outfit a handful of extra
troops, but we are otherwise on our own until reinforcements arrive."

approaching from the north!"
67215 "<YELLOW>al-Ghafiqi: The Aquitanian villages have been subdued!

Sumanguru and he holds their princess hostage to ensure their loyalty. They train
Camel Riders, swordsmen, Battering Rams, and in some cases Camel Archers.\n\n- Like
the Mema, the Fakoli (Yellow) to the south are very unhappy with the harsh Sosso
rule and will rebel if given the chance. They field an army of Crossbowmen, Light
Cavalry, and Mangonels.\n\n- Across the river to the west are the fortifications of

resources across the mainland.\n\n4. The Emir can be a powerful ally, but weigh his
assistance with the threat of giving him cannons."
67909 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Francisco de Almeida commands Fort Graciosa on the
Loukkos River. The island has limited resources and must rely on Berber villages on
either side of the river.\n\n- The Emir (Red) rules El Araich, a city on the
estuary to the west. The threat of Portuguese cannons has kept him friendly. Until
we gain the upperhand over the Pirates, he may be a worthwhile ally... for a
heathen.\n\n- The Barbary Pirates (Green) occupy the north bank of the river. They
are a strong enemy as long as their fleets are numerous. They are skilled sailors,
archers, and spearmen.\n\n- The Banu Arous (Yellow) are mounted raiders from the
deserts to the south and east. Venturing into the desert and destroying their
military buildings is the only way to end their raids.\n\n- Off the coast are the
Canary Islands, territory of Spanish Castile. European treaties matter little on
this frontier, however, and the islands would be a rich source of resources,
provided the native Guanches (Purple) can be pacified.\n\n- The flagship of the
Ottoman privateer Kemal Reis (Grey) has been seen off the coast, attacking
Christian ships in support of the beleaguered Emir of Granada. Defeating him would
be a boon to the war against the Moors and Ottomans.\n\n- And somewhere off the
African coast, an expedition led by Duarte Pacheco Pereira has been rumored lost."

Songo, an island off the Swahili coast.\n\n- Kilwa (Red) is the sultanate nearest
Songo Songo. It is ruled by Ibrahim, a minister who murdered the sultan and usurped
the throne. He is opposed by an exiled prince named Muhammad ibn Rukn ad Din. The
prince can be surrendered to Kilwa as a bribe or brought to the Swahili Villages

Cannanore so do not limit your attacks to inside the city.\n\n5. The fast-moving
units of the Hindu Pirates make great raiders, provided you choose to ally with
them. Otherwise, defeating the Pirates will bring a surplus of resources."
68109 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Francisco de Almeida and his son Lourenço are
besieged at Fort Sant’Angelo in Cannanore after being betrayed by the Kolathiri
Raja, ruler of the city.\n\n- The Kolathiri Raja (Red) commands swordsmen, Battle
Elephants, Elephant Archers, Urumi Swordsmen, and archers. His city was a
Portuguese ally during the reign of the previous raja, whose recent death sparked a
succession dispute. The new raja seized the throne with the backing of the Zamorin
and in return, has vowed to push the Portuguese into the sea.\n\n- The Zamorin
(Green), the cunning ruler of Calicut, has Elephant Archers, Urumi Swordsmen,
Halberdiers, Hand Cannoneers, warships, and siege to assist the raja. His
encampments outside Cannanore will be difficult to challenge directly but his
supply lines to the south may be prone to infiltration.\n\n- Hindu Pirates

While converting the Portuguese, do not neglect your economy. The temporary truce
will end once you convert Albuquerque, or when the timer runs out.\n\n3. Destroying
the Mamluk Feitorias should be a priority. They are their primary source of
income.\n\n4. The Kathiawar peninsula to the west has rich gold deposits.\n\n5.
Killing enemy leaders weakens their respective factions, causing them to train
fewer units at a slower rate."
68209 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Francisco de Almeida has camped in northwest
India.\n\n- Afonso de Albuquerque (Red) has landed with men whose loyalties are
easily swayed. Care should be taken to not inflict heavy losses on fellow
Portuguese, who will be needed for the coming battles.\n\n- Diu (Purple), an island
to the south, will be the focus of the coming battle. Governed by Malik Ayyaz, a
Russian converted to Islam, Diu sends elephants, mounted units, Monks, Chakram
Throwers, and warships into battle. Venetian engineers have aided Malik Ayyaz by
constructing Bombard Towers in his city.\n\n- Diu is also supported by the Ottomans
(Green). These Janissaries, cannons, and cavalry have camped across the river from
the Portuguese position.\n\n- In the north, Amir Husain al-Kurdi commands the
Egyptian Mamluks (Cyan). The Mamluk army has Mamelukes, Cavalry Archers, and siege
engines supported by a detachment of Venetian Condottieri. The Venetians provide
the Mamluks with resources via their trade embassies. Destroying these Feitorias
will cripple the Mamluks.\n\n- Finally, Gujarati traders (Yellow) have markets in
the gold-rich western peninsula. Picking sides is unprofitable for these savvy
merchants who are eager to trade with the Portuguese."

Ikshids (Yellow) control the city of Aswan, straddling the Nile river in the
northwest of the map. Hordes of Camel Riders, horsemen, and Long Swordsmen have
unsuccessfully attempted to invade Nobatia numerous times.\n\n- Arabian pirates
(Cyan) control a pair of citadels on the eastern bank of the Red Sea, regularly
plundering merchant vessels with a fearsome fleet of War Galleys.\n\n- Not all Beja

Age.\n\n2. There are several enemy military camps on the riverbanks. Attacking them
could be costly, but it will weaken Dagnajan's army.\n\n3. The rebellion in the
neighbouring Nubian kingdom of Alodia is spilling into this region. Whatever side
you take, the benefits may come in handy.\n\n4. Try not to waste any time.
Dagnajan's army will be here soon, and the more that you do early on, the easier it
will be to stop his mighty army.\n\n5. Explore the region well. There will be
several opportunities for Yodit to exploit."
68509 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Yodit's army has arrived to the north in a more
arid region. It will not be easy to obtain sufficient supplies here, so they will
need to be spent wisely.\n\n- The Begemder kingdom (Cyan) lies to the east of
Yodit's army and is allied with Dagnajan. They will try to delay Yodit while
Dagnajan prepares his army. It would be a good idea to deal with them so that they
can no longer help him. Their army consists of swordsmen, Crossbowmen, and Camel
Riders.\n\n- Slightly to the south, Darginda (Orange) has fortified the pass
leading to their kingdom. Helping them to secure the pass when the enemy army is on
the move is a priority.\n\n- The Kingdom of Alodia is tormented by rebellions. It
has no diplomatic relations with Yodit, but it would be wise to support either its
rulers or the rebels to further Yodit's interests in the region. Alodian traders
(Yellow) have set up a trade post to the west, and a bit further north, the Alodian
rebels (Purple) have made their camp.\n\n- Dagnajan (Red) is the king of the mighty
Aksumite Empire. He has several outposts along the river where he is gathering his
army for an attack on the Kingdom of Darginda. It will take him some time to
prepare his army, but once he is ready he will be difficult to stop. War Elephants

68522 "<GREEN>Ethiopian Soldier: This is the pass that Dagnajan's army will march
through. We warned the Darginda, but they are poorly equipped. We had better not
let Dagnajan's army come this far."

steppes between the Sary Su and the Ulutau.\n\n- The holdings of the Blue Horde

properly checked.\n\n- The Western Chagatai Khanate (Red) controls a citadel in the
north on the shores of Lake Balkhash. Behind their walls lurk a plethora of Cavalry
Archers, Camel Riders, and Spearmen.\n\n- The Eastern Chagatai Khanate (Green)
dominates the eastern portion of the map from a formidable mountain fortress. Dread

population larger than 150. Utilize the durability of Tatar horsemen and the
looting abilities of Keshiks to compensate for this.\n\n2. Farming and building
Docks or ships is impossible in the midst of the harsh Russian winter. Look for
other ways to feed your army.\n\n3. Ryazan is renowned for its siege engineers.
Perhaps your soldiers will be able to locate plans for advanced siege equipment
there.\n\n4. Your enemies rely on supply stores scattered around the map.

Take advantage of its arrival to catch your enemies in a pincer movement."
71109 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Tamerlane's army of cavalry (Purple) has arrayed
itself on the eastern bank of the icy Kondurcha River. Facing them on the opposite
side is Tokhtamysh's army of Light Cavalry, Cavalry Archers, Volga Bulgar horsemen,
and Russian infantry.\n\n- To the northwest lies the Russian city of Ryazan (Grey),
a dependency of Tokhtamysh. Its army consists mostly of Light Cavalry and
Skirmishers led by the local Boyars.\n\n- The city of Astrakhan (Orange) lies to
the southeast where the Volga meets the Caspian Sea. Its army initially consists of
Keshiks and Pikemen, but will eventually field Kipchak cavalry and swordsmen.\n\n-
Tokhtamysh's capital of Sarai is located in the center of the map. Sarai relies on
an army of Mangudai and Light Cavalry, but may add siege engines to the mix as
well.\n\n- To the southwest, where the Don River flows into the Black Sea, is the
city of Azov (Green). Azov is defended by Boyars and swordsmen, but will deploy
Pikemen to counter the Timurid cavalry forces.\n\n- Across the river from Azov is a
colony of Venetian and Genoese merchants (Blue) that supplies the enemy forces.
Destroying it would be quite a blow to their war effort.\n\n- The Golden Horde
(Yellow) and the Volga Bulgars (Cyan) have camps in the west, north, and east of
the map. Though initially loyal to Tokhtamysh, they may be persuaded to turn
against him given the proper set of circumstances."

(Orange) stands between Tamerlane and Delhi. Shah Tughluq's forces consist of
camelry, infantry, Skirmishers, Light Cavalry, and elephants.\n\n- In the north

71309 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Tamerlane's army (Purple) has camped in the north
of the map near the Black Sea. The local fishermen will feed the army for a short
time, but expanding early is imperative.\n\n- Directly to the southeast is Georgia
(Red), a mere shadow of its former glory. Their ill-equipped army is no match for
Tamerlane's horde.\n\n- The east of the map is controlled by the city of Baghdad
(Orange), an enormously wealthy prize defended by camelry and Crossbowmen.\n\n- Far
to the west lies the domain of Cilician Armenia (Blue). Their army of swordsmen and
Light Cavalry is led by a core of Composite Bowmen.\n\n- Just east of Cilician
Armenia is the city of Aleppo (Yellow). Aleppo's army of Spearmen and Monks should
be little more than a nuisance to Tamerlane.\n\n- The city of Damascus (Cyan) lies
in the southwest. Their army of camelry and Cavalry Archers may pose a threat
initially, but without trade they are helpless.\n\n- The Mamluk Sultanate (Green)
is your most dangerous foe. Their military base protects and supplies Damascus from

will increase your chances of victory.\n\n3. Avoid enemy power centers at all costs

convincing the Turkish auxiliaries to desert instead.\n\n4. Tamerlane has brought a
large supply of gold with him, but it will not last forever. Quickly build up an
economy and seek out new sources of income to finance your army.\n\n5. Gunpowder
units are powerful. Beware those of the enemy, but use your own to your advantage."
71409 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Tamerlane's forces (Purple) have arrived in
Anatolia, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, and must hurry to establish a camp.\n\n-
Tamerlane's main adversary, the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid (Cyan), has marched his
forces to the center of the map and camped there. When Bayezid launches his attack,
be prepared to face Janissaries, Hussars, and Bombard Cannons.\n\n- Assisting
Bayezid's army are several companies of auxiliary troops (Green), some of whose
loyalties are dubious. The Sipahis of the Anatolian Beyliks field Cavalry Archers
and Heavy Camel Riders, the Qara Tatars control a force of Tarkans and Camel
Archers, the Wallachians bring Pikemen and Skirmishers, and the Balkan auxiliaries
are comprised of Champions and Crossbowmen.\n\n- The Ottoman Empire (Blue) controls
several minor supply camps scattered around the map, but operates mainly out of a
dangerous mountain fortress far to the south. Expect to face the finest troops that
the Ottomans can offer - Hussars, Janissaries, Cavalry Archers, swordsmen, and
Bombard Cannons.\n\n- The Knights Hospitaller (Red) command the city of Smyrna to
the west. This military order musters an army of crusader knights both mounted and

in resisting the Tatars. They leave the villages to fend for themselves while they
hide behind three fortresses in the east. They will ruthlessly suppress any
semblance of a peasant uprising with their infantry, siege, and Boyars.\n\n- The
crippled Tsar Konstantin (Green) leads his formidable retinue of warriors from a
chariot in the town of Preslavets to the south. His disability has not hindered his
ambition or cunning and he will ally with and use anyone who can help him maintain
his power."

The warlord Nogai of the Golden Horde (Yellow) has established his tent outside
Drastar and attacks with Mangudai, Light Cavalry, and Onagers.\n\n- Many tribes

weakening the Romans will they be weakened.\n\n7. While destroying the Romans and
Tatars is not necessary, their defeat will secure your rear for the attack on Ivan
Asen."
71809 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Bulgarians defend the Kotel Pass, but are
outnumbered. With the nearby town of Devnya under Ivan Asen's control, Ivaylo must
find a way through the mountains to reach the pass before it is overrun.\n\n- In
Ivaylo's way are Roman Infiltrators (Green) who will ambush him in the mountains.
Fortunately, the priest Kozma may be able to find friends among the persecuted
Bogomils, if he is able to speak with them.\n\n- The Romans (Purple) and Tatars
(Yellow) attack the Bulgarians. The Tatars are mercenaries and will fight as long
as the Romans are able to support them. The total defeat of both forces is not
necessary, but crossing the Kamchiya River to reach Devnya will be difficult if

Saqchi.\n\n- Ivaylo will need to cross the Carpathian Mountains, held by the
Hungarian oligarch Roland Borsa (Red). A Vlach prince named Radu Negru desires to
kill the oligarch and free Wallachia from Hungarian domination. He could be a
useful ally.\n\n- Nogai Khan's Golden Horde (Yellow) has enemies on its borders,

before sending Kotyan to meet with them. There are some hostile forces in the
region, but you can easily evade them.\n\n2. The sudden and rapid expansion of the
Mongols devastated the Cuman morale. If the Mongol scouts reach a tribe before
Kotyan does, the tribe will be subjugated and will become hostile towards you.\n\
n3. Kipchak horsemen have a less powerful attack than most mounted archers, but
years of experience on the steppe has taught them to fire instantly. Use this
strength to outmaneuver Mongol Cavalry Archers.\n\n4. A direct assault on the
Mongol Castle will likely prove fatal. Try to lure its arrogant Mongol and Tatar
defenders into the open with a feigned retreat before attempting to raze it."
72009 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Kotyan Khan (Green) initially commands very few
men. He must visit the Cuman tribes (Cyan) that are scattered across the Ukrainian
steppe to gather more.\n\n- The Rus' principalities of Kiev (Red) and Galicia-
Volhynia (Blue) are located to the far north. They are not hostile to the Cumans at
the moment, but they are not friendly to them, either. It will take a sign of
goodwill to earn their trust.\n\n- The Mongols (Orange) have an encampment to the

coerce Cuman tribes."

74210 "<YELLOW>Duke of Bavaria: The Armagnacs are inciting the local population to
take up arms and rebel! John, let us put an end to this insubordination!"
74211 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: Our duke has been wounded! Return him to safety
so that he can recover from his wounds."
74212 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: Bad news, Sire! The Duke of Bavaria has been
forced to withdraw. We, however, will continue the fight!"
74213 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: Sire, your nefarious enemies in Paris have
renewed the charges against you for freeing France from this insane tyrant!"
74214 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: Oh, these bastards! They seem not to take me
seriously! I will show them! No more mercy to our enemies! Spare no one!"
74215 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: Liège has surrendered, but I will not show mercy
to these traitors! Drive all rebels out of their hiding places! Hang them all! Wipe
out their entire families while you are at it!"
74216 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: These simple-minded rebels in Liège seem to
think that our scouts would not discover their secret gunpowder depots…how wrong
they are! Destroy the depots so the Liège rebels can no longer make use of their
cannons."
74217 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: We have destroyed one of the rebels' gunpowder
stores, Sire!"
74218 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: Both gunpowder depots are in ruins, Sire!
Without their cannons, the rebels will be an easier target!"
74219 "<YELLOW>Duke of Bavaria: It is past time to take back what is mine! Charge,
my knights, charge! What are you waiting for, John the Fearless? Join me!"
74220 "<YELLOW>Duke of Bavaria: These obnoxious rebels somehow managed to break
into my camp! Come to my aid as quickly as possible, John!"
74221 "<YELLOW>Duke of Bavaria: To overcome the walls of Liège, we will need siege
weapons. It would be wise to start constructing some, John!"
74222 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: The grain that the villagers had stored in this
mill will now feed the Burgundian army!"
74223 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: Lumber and stone were stored in this trade
workshop. We will make good use of these resources!"
74224 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: Every coin that we take is one less coin that
our enemies can spend! There are many to be found in this Market."

of 200.\n\n2. Concentrate on liberating Ile-de-France in the beginning. You will
need a base before you can engage the Armagnacs!\n\n3. Neutral villages can be
found all over the map. If you manage to capture one, its inhabitants will produce
resources for you. Control of a village is determined by ownership of the
Converting Torch in the center of it. Keep in mind that your enemies can also
occupy villages or take villages back from you.\n\n4. There are several ways to
achieve victory. You do not have to wipe out all of your enemies completely."
74309 "Your scouts report:\n\n- John the Fearless' forces (Purple) have assembled
west of Paris to end the terror that the Écorcheurs have brought over Ile-de-
France.\n\n- The Écorcheurs (Orange) are mercenaries from southern France that have
been hired by Bernard d'Armagnac. Their Men-at-arms, Crossbowmen, and Light Cavalry
initially control Saint Cloud in the West.\n\n- Neutral villages (Grey) can be
found all over the map. Taking control of these can be to your advantage (see Hint
3).\n\n- Bernard d'Armagnac (Blue), the leader of the rival league, has gathered
his forces to the north. His army consists of heavy cavalry, swordsmen, and
Crossbowmen. Bernard also has the means to construct Trebuchets.\n\n- Three other
influential dukes have forged an alliance with Bernard: Jean de Bourbon (Cyan)
controls a large domain to the southeast and a commands a huge army consisting
mostly of infantry. Jean d’Alençon (Yellow) controls the western part of the map.
He will send Crossbowmen, Pikemen, and Mangonels your way. Charles d’Orléans
(Green) has set up his camp to the south. His forces consist of Knights,
Skirmishers, and Battering Rams.\n\n- English Mercenaries (Red) have been sighted
in the northwest. It might be possible to recruit them, but doing so could become
an expensive enterprise."
74310 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: The Armagnacs hire bloodthirsty southern rabble
to lay waste to our beloved country. We will hunt down the écorcheurs, one by one!"
74311 "<ORANGE>Écorcheur: There they are! Engage these haughty Burgundians!"
74312 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: The mercenary scum is ousted. Quickly, clear the
debris and build a camp! Bernard and his vile companions will attack soon. We need
to be prepared when the battle begins!"
74313 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: We cannot hide here and let the enemy take the
initiative! There are numerous villages in the region that we should occupy before
the Armagnacs can!"
74314 "<BLUE>Bernard d’Armagnac: You are nothing but a devious murderer who has
escaped justice for far too long! But mark my words, John: I will right this
wrong!"
74315 "<GREEN>Charles d’Orléans: You killed my father and somehow evaded justice
for this heinous crime, but my day has come. I will have my vengeance and it will
be sweet!"
74316 "<GREEN>Charles d’Orléans: You may have defeated me this time, John, but at
the deathbed of my mother, I swore the oath of vengeance for my father's murder.
You cannot stop an orphan with nothing left to lose!"
74317 "<AQUA>Jean de Bourbon: My men have admired their shiny, polished armor long
enough. It is time to crush these Burgundian upstarts."
74318 "<AQUA>Jean de Bourbon: A curse on you Burgundian dogs! Did I actually
underestimate you, John?"
74319 "<YELLOW>Jean d’Alençon: That sound that you hear is not thunder. It is the
sound of marching boots coming to destroy you! I am the Duke d’Alençon. Remember
that name well, John!"
74320 "<YELLOW>Jean d’Alençon: You and your Burgundian rabble shall not stop us!
Watch your back, John, because this is far from over!"
74321 "<BLUE>Bernard d’Armagnac: You think that targeting my allies will stop me?
Like the Hydra, for every head that you cut off, two new ones will grow in its
place. We will not stop until your blood waters our precious French soil!"
74322 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: We have captured a village. Its inhabitants will
gather resources for us now!"
74323 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: The Armagnacs have gained control of a village!
This cannot go unchecked!"
74324 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: The Armagnacs now control all villages in the
vicinity! How could you allow this to happen, men? Quickly, recapture the villages
before it is too late!"
74325 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: That was a close thing, men! We have taken back
one of the villages just in time. Do not allow the Armagnacs to take control of all
of the settlements again!"
74326 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: While we were busy besieging our enemies, we
allowed the Armagnacs to occupy the entire region! Without local support, we will
not be able to continue the war and must abandon the campaign."
74327 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: We have captured a relic! The Burgundian
monasteries will become places of pilgrimage, while the clergy of the Armagnacs
will remain as poor as church mice!"
74328 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: Two relics are in our possession now. We are
halfway to our goal!"
74329 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: We have managed to snatch three relics from our
enemies. If we acquire one more, nothing will stand between us and victory!"
74330 "<PURPLE>John the Fearless: All four relics are in our possession! The
Burgundian churches will become places of pilgrimage, increasing our reputation and
wealth!"
74331 "<BLUE>Bernard d’Armagnac: We will meet again, John. France will never be
yours!"
74332 "<RED>English Mercenaries: You Burgundians are a rich people, they say, and
it is known that you are always looking for capable soldiers. We are at your
disposal--if you can afford us, of course…"
74333 "<RED>English Mercenaries: This war is cruel and many of my men have already
paid with their lives. I am afraid that we will need more money if you want us to
continue risking our necks for you."
74334 "<RED>English Mercenaries: You Burgundians think that you can do without our
longbows? Well, the Armagnacs do appreciate our services. We will meet on the
battlefield!"

citizens that are dissatisfied with the rule of the Armagnacs may be persuaded to
join the Burgundians.\n\n2. The Armagnacs control all of Paris' gates. Drive away
or eliminate the soldiers guarding each gate to open them.\n\n3. The struggle for
Paris is already in full swing. You will find insurgents that you can integrate
into your army everywhere in the city and in its vicinity."
74409 "Your scouts report:\n\n- John the Fearless and his army (Purple) have
assembled west of Paris, near the St. Martin Abbey. From here, a road leads to the
Porte de Buci. With the help of defectors, the Burgundians should not have much
difficulty in capturing the gate and gaining access to Paris (Grey).\n\n- The
Armagnacs (Cyan) control the city, but have upset many of its residents. Spies
report that street fights are already breaking out between the Armagnac soldiers
and the townspeople everywhere in Paris.\n\n- Surrounded by his bodyguards, Bernard
d'Armagnac (Blue) has withdrawn to the north of the city.\n\n- The Parisian guilds
(Green) have not forgotten the many favors that John the Fearless has done them.

74415 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: Barbaric Armagnac soldiers took advantage of the

Paris. We should return these great pieces of French heritage!"
74416 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: The university's artifacts have been returned!
As a sign of their gratitude, the scholars have shared their knowledge with us."
74417 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: Bernard forbade the craftsmen's guild to cut
wood in the nearby forests, and so they lack building materials. If we drive the
Armagnacs out of the forests, the Parisian craftsmen will surely take our side!"
74418 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: The Armagnacs no longer occupy the forest! The
craftsmen's guild has joined our cause and built us these siege weapons."
74419 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: Our enemies block the river, bringing all trade
to a standstill. If we destroy the river blockade, the merchant's guild will help
us conquer the city."
74420 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: The river blockade has been lifted! The

costly affair. Philip the Good would do well to increase his influence and win
allies who can support him economically and militarily.\n\n3. English Longbowmen
are a threat that should not be underestimated. Training large amounts of cavalry
and Skirmishers could be the key to victory over Humphrey of Lancaster's army."
74509 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Philip the Good (Purple) has a gained a foothold in
the west of the County of Hainaut. Succeeding his murdered father, he is already a
relatively wealthy man, but he will soon have to start recruiting an army to stand
a chance against his rivals.\n\n- John of Bavaria (Yellow) is marching towards
Hainaut from the east. He commands a powerful army, but will hardly be able to
defeat his niece and the Lord Protector on his own.\n\n- In the north and
northwest, Jacqueline (Green) and Humphrey of Lancaster (Red) own estates that they
will defend at any cost. Jacqueline will primarily use infantry and cavalry for
this purpose, while Humphrey will rely on the range of his feared Longbowmen.\n\n-
It may be possible for the Burgundians to make other alliances. The County of Namur
(Cyan) in the southeast has no male heirs, a problem that Philip may be able to
take advantage of. The city of Cambrésis (Orange) lies to the southeast. Philip's
relatives have considerable influence there from which the Burgundians may
benefit."
74510 "<YELLOW>Duke of Bavaria: Your father once fought side by side with me,
Philip. Let us renew this old alliance and avenge the murder of John!"
74511 "<YELLOW>Duke of Bavaria: My forces are ready for combat, Philip. Onwards to
glory!"
74512 "<YELLOW>Duke of Bavaria: Alas! It looks bad for me, Philip…I am not feeling
so well."
74513 "<AQUA>Count of Namur: I am an old man without an heir. It is said that you
are not only an ambitious, prudent ruler, but also a wealthy man. If you are
willing to pay, I will bequeath you my county. I know that it would be in good
hands with you, Philip."
74514 "<AQUA>Count of Namur: Come on, Philip, do not refuse an old man's last
wish."
74515 "<AQUA>Count of Namur: Since you obviously have no interest in enlarging your
domain, Jacqueline will now take over the county. At least she was not as hesitant
as you, Philip."
74516 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: My family has considerable influence in Cambrésis,
and it just so happens that one of my relatives is a candidate to become the city’s
next bishop. Bring two relics there so that Cambrésis will favor Burgundy!"
74517 "<ORANGE>Bishop of Cambrésis: I owe you my gratitude, cousin! Rest assured, I
will assure that the Cambrésis' tithes find their way to your coffers."
74518 "<ORANGE>Bishop of Cambrésis: Philip, the burghers are asking for a church,
but the city treasures have been spent on the war! Can you give the townsmen what
they demand?"
74519 "<ORANGE>Bishop of Cambrésis: What a magnificent building! Many believers
will flock to it and fill the city’s coffers!"
74520 "<GREEN>Jacqueline of Hainaut: First my husband and my uncle tried to tell me
what to do, and now you Philip? Has your mother not raised you to have any
manners?"
74521 "<GREEN>Jacqueline of Hainaut: These lands and titles are mine. You will have
to pry them from my cold, dead hands before I give them up."
74522 "<GREEN>Jacqueline of Hainaut: This is it. I have nowhere else to go. Very
well, Philip, you have won this round, but as long as I breathe I will not bow to
any man."
74523 "<RED>Humphrey of Lancaster: You do not stand a chance against English
longbows, Philip. Why not come over here to face me like a real man?"
74524 "<RED>Humphrey of Lancaster: Oh, how I would have loved to fight you in
person, Philip. A man that lives up to his reputation is a rare enough thing.
Sadly, the boring old men in England think that I should not be fighting our
allies."
74525 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: The duke has been wounded! We must continue the
fight without him while he recovers."
74526 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: Hainaut is ours and the English have fled! The
lands are mine and Humphrey and his Englishmen are back on their way to England.
Take Jacqueline to Ghent where she can no longer do any harm!"
74527 "<GREEN>Jacqueline of Hainaut: Whatever you do Philip, do not treat me as one
of your brittle courtesans. I have spent my whole life hunting and watching
intrigues unfold at court. I am no ordinary countess!"
74528 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: Jacqueline, you are as cunning and sly as a true
Burgundian. If I had not known better, I would have sworn you to be my sister."
74529 "<RED>Humphrey of Lancaster: Philip! You, me, two lances, and some horses? A
man of your standing cannot refuse a proper duel."

74608 "1. Philip the Good’s forces can support a population of 200.\n\n2. Humphrey
is impeded by political obligations but still manages to send English soldiers and
resources to his wife, Jacqueline. Additionally, he is directing an English navy to
Zeeland to invade the Burgundian lands. Build a fleet in order to repel the English
invaders.\n\n3. The sea offers plenty of food. Building Fishing Ships is strongly
advised.\n\n4. The Hooks, an association of lower nobles, are supporting
Jacqueline, while the local burghers, the Cods, sympathize with the Burgundians. To
gain a reliable ally, help the Cods rise to be Holland’s strongest power."
74609 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Philip the Good (Purple) has established a base in
Brouwershaven, an affluent coastal town, to fight Jacqueline and her English
allies.\n\n- A conflict is festering in Holland between a noble alliance, called
The Hooks (Yellow), and the region's self-confident burghers, The Cods (Blue). The
Hooks support Jacqueline’s cause, while the Cods have forged an alliance with the
Burgundians.\n\n- Jacqueline (Green) has taken control of Utrecht, Leiden, and
Rotterdam. She will mainly train heavy cavalry, construct Trebuchets, and also
build a war fleet. Should Jacqueline be under siege, she will deploy additional
infantry to defend her cities.\n\n- The English (Red) have a powerful army
consisting mainly of Longbowmen and a large number of warships. It is unlikely that
the Burgundians will have the opportunity to defeat the English completely, but it
may be possible to significantly weaken them."
74610 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: Thankfully for us, the enemy alliance is separated
by the channel! Controlling the coast is the key to victory. We must not allow the
English to come ashore in Brouwershaven or on the surrounding beaches!"
74611 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: Alas! How could I allow this to happen? The enemy
has destroyed the Town Center of Brouwershaven! The rest of the city will surely
fall as well."
74612 "<BLUE>The Cods: The simple-minded Dutch nobles do not understand that times
have changed and that they are backing the wrong horse. Help us bring the Hooks to
their knees once and for all and we will support your plans, Philip."
74613 "<BLUE>The Cods: We now own a market, Philip. Feel free to send your
merchants to do business with us."
74614 "<BLUE>The Cods: We keep our word, Philip! You have helped us and now we will
assist you! Our soldiers are eager for battle!"
74615 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: We have freed a town from the tyranny of the
Hooks. Our friends, the Cods, will rule this place from now on."
74616 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: This village will no longer suffer from the
despotic rule of the Hooks. Our allies, the Cods, will be in charge of this
settlement from now on."
74617 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: The Hooks are defeated! All of Zeeland is now in
the hands of our allies!"
74618 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: My spies are reliable as always! They tell me of
lumberyards on the English coast that are vital to the English. What are you
waiting for, soldiers? Burn them down!"
74619 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: Très bien! The English lumberyards lie in ashes!
Without regular wood supplies, Humphrey will struggle to build enough ships to
threaten us."
74620 "<GREY>Dutch Fisherman: Philip, do you have an ear for the worries of poor
villagers? The Hooks block the bay, preventing us from fishing. Rid us of these
fiends and we will reward you!"
74621 "<GREY>Dutch Fisherman: You are a generous duke, Philip. Thanks to you we can
go fishing again. As a token of our gratitude, we will share our catch with you
from now on to support your army."
74622 "<GREY>Dutch Villager: What are your soldiers doing trampling through my

74625 "<RED>Humphrey of Lancaster: Face it, Philip! England rules the waves! What
do you even know of naval warfare?"
74626 "<RED>Humphrey of Lancaster: Not frightened, yet, Philip? My army is

74708 "1. The Burgundian army can support a population of 200.\n\n2. It is not
necessary to completely destroy the French. Joan of Arc is the one who stands in
your way, and defeating her is Philip the Good's goal.\n\n3. Before the Burgundians
can begin to lay siege to Compiègne, they must acquire a base from which to
operate. Focus on this objective before invading other domains that are controlled
by the French.\n\n4. The small town of Margny is already in Burgundian hands, but
will need your support to withstand French attempts to recapture it."
74709 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Philip the Good (Purple) has led his army south to
conquer Compiègne and defeat the French army led by Joan of Arc. Before the actual
battle can begin, Philip must conquer Choisy in order to establish a base.\n\n-
Choisy (Green) is defended by a relatively small garrison. If the Burgundians
attack decisively enough, they should have no difficulty in forcing the town to
surrender.\n\n- Near Compiègne lies the town of Margny (Orange), which has already
been conquered by Burgundian soldiers. Philip the Good must support the Burgundian
forces that are holding Margny against French attempts to recapture the town.\n\n-
Burgundian scouts have learned that the residents of Soissons (Grey), a city to the
east, are weary of war. It may be possible to come to an agreement with the
citizens without having to spill blood.\n\n- Joan of Arc hides in Compiègne with
her loyal followers (Blue). The well-fortified city (Cyan) is defended by a
powerful army consisting of Pikemen, Heavy Crossbowmen, Hand Cannoneers, and
Bombard Cannons. Compiègne will not sit idle and let Philip the Good take the
initiative, however, and will soon launch counterattacks.\n\n- In the south lie
several camps of the French army (Yellow), which mainly consists of heavy cavalry.
It is not advisable to try to overcome this strong opponent. Instead, Philip the
Good should focus on attacking Joan of Arc."
74710 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: Onwards, men! The town of Choisy lies ahead! Let us
conquer this place and turn it into a siege camp before marching on Compiègne!"

Deal with them swiftly!"
74712 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: Choisy is well fortified, but the town’s castle is
no match for our artillery! Prepare the cannons!"
74713 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: My duke! This path leads directly to the hostile
city of Compiègne. We should conquer Choisy first so that we have a base to operate
from!"
74714 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: The town is ours! Quickly, establish a base and
repair the damages. The French army will not remain idle once they learn of our
success!"
74715 "<PURPLE>Philip the Good: Our outpost in Margny has been attacked by French
soldiers for days. We should not allow our enemies to wipe out this base!"
74716 "<ORANGE>Margny Defender: Send reinforcements! The French are besieging our
camp! "
74717 "<ORANGE>Margny Defender: Alas! We can no longer withstand the French
assaults! Margny is lost!"
74718 "<GREY>Soissons: We have suffered much in this war, and now Joan of Arc is
demanding that we deploy even more soldiers to support her desperate
campaigns...but we long for peace. Help us rebuild our city and we will stay out of
the battle."
74719 "<GREY>Soissons: Thank you for building a new market for us! You truly
deserve to be known as ‘the Good’, Philip."
74720 "<GREY>Soissons: There are people in our city who know the French military
plans. For an adequate price, they are willing to share their knowledge with you."
74721 "<GREY>Soissons: As agreed, our spies will provide you with the French plans.
From now on, you can track the activities of your enemies!"

with your lives!"
74723 "<BLUE>French Soldier: Joan…oh non! La Pucelle has fallen into the hands of
the insidious Burgundians! This is a dark day for France."
74724 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: The French army can reach Compiègne via this
bridge. If we were to destroy it, the French would have to take a detour to help
their besieged allies…"
74725 "<PURPLE>Burgundian Soldier: The bridge south of Compiègne has been
destroyed! This will significantly restrict the French army's movement! "

74805 "Saracen Pirates"
74808 "1. Robert de Hauteville is restricted to the Castle Age.\n\n2. Your
population limit is 160, but you cannot build Houses. Instead, you must capture
Norman baronies and villages to increase your population limit.\n\n3. You have a
few options to establish yourself. Go to the Lombard or Byzantine cities to receive
land in exchange for future tribute to your liege lord. Alternatively, you can
capture a Norman barony by betraying your kinsmen, preserving your independence.\n\
n4. You can capture Norman baronies or enemy villages by killing the units
defending them. Capture Norman baronies for military buildings and troops; capture
villages for Villagers and economic buildings.\n\n5. If you choose to serve the
Lombards or the Byzantines, you may find continued service to a liege lord
expensive. You can always change diplomacy and rebel against them.\n\n6. The
Normans only respect martial strength, so your Hauteville heroes must lead from the
front. Your heroes will improve their skill in battle as they fight enemy units, so
use them in battle often."
74809 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Robert de Hauteville (Blue) has arrived in Southern
Italy seeking lands and wealth that he cannot earn in Normandy as a younger son of
a minor baron.\n\n- Other Normans (Red) arrived decades ago, taking advantage of
Italian division to seize baronies of their own in the mountains. Securing these
baronies is crucial, as the Normans there can bolster Robert’s warbands. The
Normans fight as Knights and Serjeants with components of support troops.\n\n- The
Norman Drengot family (Cyan) competes with the Hautevilles in Italy. Their raiders
will emerge from the sea and from the Norman baronies to indiscriminately plunder
the region. They fight primarily as Knights and Light Cavalry.\n\n- The Byzantines
(Purple) once ruled all of Southern Italy. The failed revolt of a Lombard prince
named Melus–supported by the first Norman arrivals–led to the weakening of
Byzantine authority. Nevertheless, under Melus' son, Argyrus, the Byzantines have
reasserted themselves in the east and south with their diverse army and
Legionaries.\n\n- Prince Guaimar (Yellow) rules the Lombards, descendants of
Germanic immigrants who populate the north. The Lombards fight as infantry and
archers. Prince Guaimar is determined to rid Italy of the Byzantines, even if it
means risking the arrival of more dangerous Normans.\n\n- Finally, Saracen Pirates
(Green) threaten all of Italy from their base in Sicily, where they receive the
protection of the local Arab emirs. The pirates fight primarily from the sea with
Galleys, but will also land raiders on Italy's shores."
74810 "<RED>Drogo: You are not in Normandy, Robert. I make the rules here. Leave
Italy before I have you and your band of robbers hung from my tower."
74811 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: I did not come all the way from Normandy for this. If
you will not give me the lands I deserve, I will take them myself!"
74812 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: My brother is a fool! We are not going back to
Normandy empty-handed."
74813 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: The Norman barons are not yet suspicious of me. I can
take advantage of that. Come, Normans!"
74814 "<RED>Norman Knight: Welcome, Robert. Stay, have a drink, and tell me of our
homeland. I hear Duke William has gotten himself into some trouble? Poor little
bastard..."
74815 "<RED>Norman Knight: How dare you strike at my men, Robert? You will pay for
this!"
74816 "<RED>Norman Knight: Robert Guiscard comes! Protect your homes from this
devil!"
74817 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: Normans, you came here because there is nothing for
us in Normandy. Duke William is a bastard barely clinging to power there. Join me
and you will be lords of Italy. Betray me and you will not live long."
74818 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: The Italian peasants make poor fighters. Get on your
horses, men. We will conquer other Norman baronies to grow our warband."
74819 "<YELLOW>Guaimar, the Lombard Prince: Norman, I could use more of your type
to further the Lombard cause. Come to my castle and let us make a deal."
74820 "<YELLOW>Guaimar: It is settled then. You will defend my lands, fight my
enemies, and pay tribute when I ask. That is the price of these lands I give you."
74821 "<YELLOW>Guaimar: Pay no mind to my soldiers in your fiefdom. They ensure
that you will think twice before betraying me."
74822 "<YELLOW>Guaimar: I did not give you land so that you could twiddle your
thumbs and sit on your arse! My lands are being attacked! Defend them!"
74823 "<YELLOW>Guaimar: Norman, pay me 500 gold in tribute."
74824 "<YELLOW>Guaimar: Norman, I am not as patient as you may think I am. Pay me
500 gold now."
74825 "<YELLOW>Guaimar: You dare challenge me? You are nothing to me but a roving
brigand and I will bring my justice upon you!"
74826 "<YELLOW>Guaimar: I am glad that I am understood, Norman."
74827 "<YELLOW>Guaimar: I am no fool, Norman. I smell your treachery coming!"
74828 "<PURPLE>Argyrus, the Byzantine Governor: My father recruited the first of
you Normans to Italy. You may have heard of Melus of Bari?"
74829 "<PURPLE>Argyrus: I have goals for Italy and could use a vicious attack dog
like yourself. Come to Bari and let us talk."
74830 "<PURPLE>Argyrus: In return for this land, you will defend my interests,
fight my enemies, and pay me when I ask. Let us hope you prove more valuable to me
than your fellow Normans were to my father."
74831 "<PURPLE>Argyrus: Did you think that I would not protect my investment? These
soldiers will make sure you think twice before betraying me."
74832 "<PURPLE>Argyrus: Norman, explain to me how you plan to defend the Emperor’s
lands by not sending troops to the villages already under attack..."
74833 "<PURPLE>Argyrus: I expect my vassals to pay tribute. Pay me 500 gold."
74834 "<PURPLE>Argyrus: Do not try me, Norman. Pay me 500 gold and I will look the
other way on your brigandage. Refuse to pay me, and I will crush you."
74835 "<PURPLE>Argyrus: I do not blame you for thinking that our arrangement was
unsustainable. I was going to betray you anyway. You only make it a bit more
interesting now."
74836 "<PURPLE>Argyrus: You may be useful to me yet, Norman."
74837 "<PURPLE>Argyrus: You underestimate me, Norman. I know you plan to betray
me."
74838 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: Lord Robert, we have heard of your exploits and wish to
serve you!"
74839 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: Lord Robert, Byzantine agents have treacherously
murdered your brother Drogo! The barons grant you Melfi as the eldest remaining
Hauteville son."
74840 "<BLUE>Roger: Robert, my dear brother! In the court of Duke William, they
tell tales of you fighting giants and dragons! They call you ‘Guiscard’ – the
cunning fox! I had to come and see for myself!"
74841 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: Do not believe every tall tale whispered in a bastard
duke’s court, brother."
74842 "<BLUE>Roger: Things are changing in Normandy, Robert. Duke William has plans
to conquer England, but I would rather fight alongside my brother here in Italy!"
74843 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: Run to Constantinople and tell your emperor that
Robert de Hauteville calls for him! His court historians will soon know my name
well!"
74844 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: Salerno’s power is broken, but the Lombards remain
rebellious. I will take their princess Sikelgaita as my wife so that the people
bend to my will."
74845 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: Normans, remember why we came to Italy. We will be
ruthless, we will conquer, we will take and kill, and make a name for ourselves in
this land like our fathers' fathers did in Normandy! Join me and I will lead us to
greatness!"
74846 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: Our leader is too wounded to continue. He will not
fight again this day."
74847 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: Our leader is in danger! Protect him!"
74848 "<RED>Drogo: You dare defy me, Robert? I will run you through and hang your
treacherous body from my ramparts!"

74908 "1. Roger Bosso may reach the Imperial Age. You may not train gunpowder units
in any scenario of this campaign, however.\n\n2. The Normans are few in numbers.
You begin with a population limit of 80 and cannot build Houses.\n\n3. You can
support a larger population by capturing the various Sicilian cities. Every city
that you take for your own increases your population capacity by 30.\n\n4. You can
inspire a rebellion in the lands occupied by the two Berber princes by bringing
Relics to the Sicilian Monasteries outside of Palermo (Red) and Agrigento (Cyan).
These Relics will be lost to you, however.\n\n5. Focus on killing the enemy emirs
and princes while preserving their cities and armies. These will submit to you once
their leader is killed.\n\n6. If you choose to support Ibn at-Timnah, actively
explore the island to gather his supporters. By supporting a local faction, you
will also be able to train Genitours.\n\n7. If you choose to surrender Ibn at-
Timnah to Ibn al-Hawwas, use the resources that you gain to build a strong invasion
force. Ibn at-Timnah’s supporters will become hostile, however, and you will be
unable to train Genitours."
74909 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Roger de Hauteville (Blue) has gathered Normans for
the invasion of Sicily. He is joined by an exiled Muslim emir named Ibn at-Timnah
(Yellow) who promises to help him.\n\n- Three Saracen emirs rule Sicily. Ibn al-
Hawwas (Green) is based in central Sicily at Cerami, Ibn al-Ward (Orange) in the
southeast at Syracuse, and Ibn Mankut (Purple) in the west at Mazara del Vallo.
Each faction fights with a mix of Saracen unit types.\n\n- Two princes of the
Berber Zirid dynasty seek power and influence over Sicily. Ayyub Zirid (Red)
controls the north of the island from Palermo while his younger brother, Ali Zirid
(Cyan), controls the south from Agrigento. Both princes command mobile armies of
Camel Archers, Camel Riders, and cavalry.\n\n- Although Sicily has been ruled by
Muslim emirs for two centuries, the island retains a diverse religious community
(Grey) of Catholic and Orthodox Christians along with the Muslims. These Sicilian
groups have no love for the two Berber princes and can be inspired to rebel in
Palermo and Agrigento if holy Relics are brought to their Monasteries."
74910 "<GREEN>Ibn al-Hawwas: A faithless criminal is hiding in your lands, Norman.
Return him to me and I will pay you well for your trouble."
74911 "<YELLOW>Ibn at-Timnah: Do not listen to him, Sayyid Roger! My head is far
more valuable to you atop my shoulders!"
74912 "<GREEN>Ibn al-Hawwas: I am a man of my word. Take this and do not look
hungrily at my island. We are not friends and I do not want you in Sicily."
74913 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: You are not as naive as I thought, Roger. The emirs
rely on brutality to control their people. Kill these emirs and the people will
fear and submit to us."
74914 "<GREEN>Ibn al-Hawwas: I will not forget this, Norman! You harbor criminals
and I pronounce vendetta against you!"
74915 "<YELLOW>Ibn at-Timnah: Shukraan, Sayyid Roger, shukraan! My followers are
yours to command. Gather my supporters and march on one of the cities. The people
are weak and if they see you kill an emir, they will submit to us – I mean you."
74916 "<YELLOW>Ibn at-Timnah: You are indeed fortunate to have a friend like me,
Sayyid Roger! I am a local to Sicily and know the positions of the enemy cities!
You will still need to search for the emirs themselves, though..."
74917 "<YELLOW>Ibn at-Timnah: Come, my loyal followers! I have returned with Norman
friends. Do not be suspicious of their swords or their ways. They are good friends
of Sicily!"
74918 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: The locals surrender to you, my lord. My lord should
focus on killing the enemy emirs and princes while preserving their cities and
armies."
74919 "<YELLOW>Ibn at-Timnah: I have a small favor to ask of you, Sayyid Roger.
Restore me to my throne at Syracuse and I will be your most devoted ally."
74920 "<YELLOW>Ibn at-Timnah: Shukraan, Sayyid Roger. I prove my devotion by
conscripting these peasants into your army. Get out there, peasants! You will fight
for the Normans or I will whip you!"
74921 "<BLUE>Roger: Three faiths: Catholic, Orthodox, and Muslim inhabit this
island, but those in the west have been subjugated by the Berbers. If I show my
tolerance of their faiths, the people will rebel against the two Berber princes."
74922 "<BLUE>Roger: Rise, Sicilians of Agrigento! Throw off your Berber prince! A
new dawn is coming to Sicily!"
74923 "<BLUE>Roger: Rise, Sicilians of Palermo! Repulse the Berbers! I have come to
restore Sicily!"

Lombard rebellions in Italy. There is little left to plunder! They want to conquer
something, so make good use of them!"

Apulia; I should have killed him after his father died. Continue to conquer Sicily
for me and I will make you count of the island."
74926 "<YELLOW>Ibn at-Timnah: Count? Sayyid Roger, inshallah, you will be king of
this island, without your ungrateful brother!"
74927 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: Count? My lord, you are worthy to be a king of this
island, with or without your brother!"
74928 "<BLUE>Roger: My brother is a fox. My day will come, but only if I am
patient. Let us focus on taking this island before I worry over who will rule it."
74929 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: I see you are quite ambitious, brother. Do not let
your ambitions make you foolish. I am watching you as a good elder brother should."
74930 "<BLUE>Robert Guiscard: I will return to Italy, brother. Soon, I will call on
you to watch over my lands while I march on Constantinople with Bohemond. Finish
Sicily quickly!"
74931 "<BLUE>Roger: The people of this island–Christian and Muslim–suffered for too
long under feuding emirs. God willing, I will build a new order here where Norman,

75008 "1. Sikelgaita has refused to help you, forcing you to rely on your own
personal retinue. Therefore, you are restricted to a population limit of 75 and
cannot build walls, Castles, or warships. Your Transport Ships have increased line
of sight, however.\n\n2. The Byzantine armies should not be fought directly – at
the start, they heal very rapidly. Destroying their military buildings is the only
way to reduce their healing speed.\n\n3. Monitor your objectives to track the
strength (healing rate) of each general’s army. When it falls to zero, they will no
longer heal and are vulnerable to attack.\n\n4. The Byzantines will aggressively
seek out your forces. Use this aggression against them by launching diversionary
attacks away from your true targets.\n\n5. Loot enemy buildings to supplement your
economy. Lumber Camps provide wood, Mills provide food, and Markets and Mining
Camps provide gold.\n\n6. Use Bohemond in battle. The more that he fights, the more
Normans will join him.\n\n7. Explore the map to find allies. The Bogomils will
allow you to purchase the services of spies at your Castle."
75009 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Bohemond de Hauteville (Blue) begins on the
southeastern coast of Italy. His preparations for the invasion of the Byzantine
Empire have been thwarted by his stepmother, the Lombard warrior princess
Sikelgaita (Grey). He will need to rely on his own personal valor to attract Norman
knights to his banner.\n\n- Three Byzantine armies oppose Bohemond under the
commands of the Emperor Alexios Komnenos (Purple) and his generals Nikephoros
Melissenos (Green) and Gregorios Pakourianos (Yellow). The Byzantine armies consist
of Legionaries and Cataphracts. Alexios Komnenos’ own force includes English
Varangians (Berserks) who seek revenge against the Normans following their defeat
at Hastings in 1066. The Byzantine armies replenish themselves (heal rapidly),
making them difficult to fight.\n\n- Bohemond can reduce the healing rate of these
armies by destroying their military buildings defended by Byzantine Garrisons
(Red).\n\n- Local factions opposed to the Byzantines can help Bohemond, including
the Bulgarians and the Bogomils, a heretical sect. Many Byzantine soldiers are
secret followers of Bogomilism and may be willing to spy for Bohemond.\n\n- The
Byzantine marches in the north hold back the nomadic Pechenegs (Orange). Destroying
these defenses will unleash these hordes of Tarkans, Steppe Lancers, and Kipchaks
on the Byzantines.\n\n- Finally, the Norman adventurer Roussel de Bailleul ventured
east with an army a few years ago. This army may still be alive, beyond the hostile
Seljuk Turks (Cyan)."
75010 "<GREY>Robert Guiscard: Bohemond, I will be away in Rome while you lead the
attack. Your stepmother will assist you. Take it from your father: she is not one
to be trifled with."
75011 "<GREY>Sikelgaita: Oh Bohemond? Let me be clear: my son will succeed his
father, not some half-wrought bastard such as you. I will keep the wealth of Apulia
for my son so he can conquer the east after you inevitably fail."
75012 "<BLUE>Bohemond: Let my father’s second son keep the wealth – I do not need
it! Normans from across all of Italy will flock to my banner once they hear of my
valor in battle!"
75013 "<BLUE>Bohemond: Normans, the Emperor’s armies gain strength from their
buildings. We will sap their vigor by destroying their buildings and plundering
their mills, markets, and resource camps."
75014 "<BLUE>Bohemond: But be warned: their armies will pursue us across every mile
of their country. We will hit them hard and fast, and escape to raid elsewhere
before they bring their full strength to bear."
75015 "<BLUE>Bohemond: Take the resources back to Italy! We do not need the gold my
father’s wife hoards for her misbegotten son! "
75016 "<BLUE>Bohemond: The Greeks replenish themselves from these barracks,
stables, and archery ranges. Every one we raze will weaken their armies."
75017 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: My lord, one of the enemy armies is greatly weakened.
If my lord prepares an ambush, we can destroy it! "
75018 "<BLUE>Bohemond: This army will bother us no more!"
75019 "<BLUE>Bohemond: Another army lies vanquished in the mud!"
75020 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: My lord, these priests belong to an oppressed religious
sect called the Bogomils. They say they have many secret followers among the
Empire’s soldiers."
75021 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: For a small payment of gold at my lord’s castle, these
Bogomil spies will report the locations and movements of the enemy armies for a
limited time."
75022 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: The Bogomil spies return to the shadows. My lord can
purchase their services again at my lord’s castle."
75023 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: These Bulgarians say they are unwilling subjects of the
Empire. They will fight alongside us."
75024 "<ORANGE>Pecheneg Chieftain: Norman, my hordes are hungry for blood and
plunder. Destroy the Greek towers that block our way and I will unleash my hordes
against the Byzantines!"
75025 "<ORANGE>Pecheneg Chieftain: The way is clear for us! Ride! Ride and leave no
Greek alive!"
75026 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: My lord, a few years ago, the adventurer Roussel de
Bailleul, who served with your father and uncle in Sicily, brought a Norman army to
the east. They may still survive beyond the Seljuk Turks."
75027 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: My lord, you have found the remnants of Roussel de
Bailleul’s army! They say the Emperor murdered their leader. He will pay for
spilling Norman blood!"
75028 "<GREY>Sikelgaita: Oh Bohemond? I thought you said that you would be heroic
and have thousands of knights flocking to you? All I see is a coward who hangs back
and does not fight himself. I suppose your mother’s weak blood is to blame..."
75029 "<GREY>Sikelgaita: Oh Bohemond? It seems that your sister Matilda is more
accomplished than you are! As we speak, she marches with her husband, the esteemed
Count Berenguer, to conquer Valencia."
75030 "<GREY>Sikelgaita: Maybe after you fail, you can find employment there as one
of the Count’s squires?"
75031 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: Lord Bohemond, we have heard tell of your valor. Even
now, more knights are only waiting for a few more stories of your skill before they
throw their support behind you."
75032 "<GREY>Sikelgaita: Such foolishness! Have all the Norman knights in Italy
gone mad?"
75033 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: Lord Bohemond, we have heard of your valor and wish to
serve you! "
75034 "<GREY>Sikelgaita: Humpf! You are pulling knights needed in Calabria and
Salerno. Your father will hear about this!"
75035 "<GREY>Sikelgaita: What could possibly possess you Normans to support a
worthless bastard? When my son rules you all, this treachery will not be
forgotten!"
75036 "<PURPLE>Alexios Komnenos: Who are you? I thought I would be fighting the
great Robert Guiscard, but instead he sends some bastard knight. The fox must be
scared of the Roman eagle!"
75037 "<PURPLE>Alexios Komnenos: Run, Normans! You are too few to challenge the
Roman Empire!"
75038 "<PURPLE>Alexios Komnenos: Is this how you Normans fight? You burn down
villages and then run away when you see real men?"
75039 "<PURPLE>Alexios Komnenos: Such cowardly Normans! Stand and fight me! "
75040 "<PURPLE>Alexios Komnenos: I have many English among my Varangians. They tell
me that they will brutalize any Normans for what your kin did at Hastings. I am not
inclined to get in their way."
75041 "<PURPLE>Alexios Komnenos: My legions come from across my empire, Norman. I
have other armies!"
75042 "<PURPLE>Alexios Komnenos: I have matters to deal with in Constantinople.
Strategos, take command of my army. "
75043 "<PURPLE>Alexios Komnenos: I am not yet finished, Norman! We will meet
again!"
75044 "<GREY>Sikelgaita: You may have defeated the Greeks, Bohemond, but believe
me, I am not finished with you. My son will soon take the throne and you will never
set foot in Italy again."
75045 "<BLUE>Bohemond: I must not be so reckless again!"
75046 "<BLUE>Roger: Bohemond, I came to see what my nephew is up to. You are much
like your father. Maybe Italy is too small for you, and you should look further
east!"
75047 "<BLUE>Roger: I will leave you with some knights. Take care of them – I
expect them to return to Sicily in one piece with stories of your exploits."

n2. There is a rhythm to the siege. Use the breaks in the fighting to rebuild your
defenses, gather resources, and improve your army for the next assault.\n\n3. The
Relics in the Monasteries are your only source of gold. Stone can be found among
the city’s ancient ruins.\n\n4. As the siege continues, you will run low on
available resources. Use the Market to trade for what you need, but know that price
inflation is inevitable during a prolonged siege.\n\n5. By taking the citadel from
Ahmed ibn-Marwan, you gain access to the resources in the southeastern hills.\n\n6.
Researching Faith and finding the Holy Lance provides a one-time temporary bonus to
all of your units. Use it wisely."
75109 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Bohemond de Hauteville (Blue) and the Crusaders
have taken the ancient city of Antioch after a lengthy siege. They have found the
city’s stockpiles depleted.\n\n- Unfortunately for the Crusaders, the Seljuk Turk
warlord Kerbogha (Cyan) has arrived with a massive army to retake the city. He has
divided his army into several wings surrounding the city’s walls and six gates. His
armies will attack in repeating waves of mixed troops. Despite his strength,
Kerbogha is hesitant to press his advantage, as too many casualties may break his
diverse army pulled from competing warlords. He will instead withdraw and
reorganize for subsequent attacks on a predictable schedule.\n\n- Because Kerbogha
arrived before the Crusaders could defeat the garrison entirely, Antioch’s citadel
in the east is still held by the Muslim garrison led by Ahmed ibn-Marwan (Green).
This force consists of Mamelukes, Camel Riders, and archers and is protected by a
Castle. While this garrison is unlikely to leave its position, making it less of a
threat, it blocks access to additional resources in the hills behind the city.\n\n-
Finally, a relieving army led by the Byzantine Emperor Alexios Komnenos is rumored
to be on its way – likely to claim the city for the Empire. Bohemond is determined
to push back the Turks before his old adversary arrives."
75110 "<BLUE>Bohemond: Stay close to the walls, men! The Turks are trying to lure
us out to be shot full of arrows!"
75111 "<BLUE>Bohemond: Never chase the Turks into the open. We will kill them at
the walls. Now, arrange the defenders! The Turks will attack again soon."

75113 "<BLUE>Bohemond: The Turks run! Let them go. We have much to rebuild."

across Illyria if this is his way to get vengeance against me!"

dawdles! Never forget this Byzantine treachery!"
75116 "<BLUE>Norman Knight: My lord, the Emperor Alexios Komnenos has retired with
his armies back to Constantinople! They believe us already dead!"

a spiteful coward leaving us to die in the sand!"

Christ is buried in this city. I am skeptical, my lord, but the priests say we
should have Faith in this vision."

fight harder, if only for a short while. My lord should be tactical in choosing
when to reveal this Holy Lance."

soldiers! They are inspired!"

resources. Expand, trade, and seek out Relics.\n\n5. The Saracen Pirates are
protected by Sultan al-Hassan. He will come to their aid if their pirate base is
attacked."
75209 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The newly-crowned King Roger II (Blue) faces many
threats as he builds his kingdom. While his predecessors relied on military skills
to attract knights, Roger’s tolerance and statecraft have lured learned men from
across the world. He is advised by his English chancellor, Robert of Selby, and an
Arab scholar named Muhammad al-Idrisi.\n\n- The Holy Roman Emperor Lothair III
(Yellow) has invaded Italy from his base to the north. His army consists of
Teutonic Knights, Paladins, infantry, and siege weapons.\n\n- The Drengots have
taken advantage of Roger’s patience to rebel under the leadership of Ranulf Drengot
(Cyan). The Norman lord controls the southeast of Italy with Serjeants, cavalry,
siege weapons, and a Norman fleet.\n\n- The Italian Cities (Red) of Pisa and Genoa
have established bases in Sardinia and western Italy. These naval forces are allied
with the Holy Roman Emperor and threaten King Roger with their warships, infantry,
and Archers. They care mostly about trade, however, and may be convinced to support
the Sicilians.\n\n- Emperor John II Komnenos (Purple) has succeeded his father,
Alexios Komnenos, as Byzantine Emperor. Though he desires to avenge his father’s
losses to the Normans, he can be persuaded with bribes to remain in his eastern
realm.\n\n- The Berber Sultan al-Hassan (Orange) relies on piracy after the loss of
Zirid influence over Sicily following Roger Bosso’s conquest. He shelters and
protects Saracen Pirates (Green). Even these pirates have their price, however."
75210 "<YELLOW>Emperor Lothair: Look at this ‘baptized sultan’ – too busy playing
‘dress up' as a Saracen prince to come and fight a real man!"
75211 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: Your Majesty, we have pulled our forces from most of
Italy, as you commanded. The peasants will surrender to the invaders and their
lives will be spared. Shall we retreat to the island or hold our position in
Calabria?"
75212 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: Your Majesty, the scholar al-Idrisi wishes to speak
with you."
75213 "<BLUE>al-Idrisi: Great Sayyid, I ask a humble favor. Please send your ships,
traders, and soldiers throughout the world so that I may learn from their journeys
and create a map of your entire realm and beyond."
75214 "<BLUE>al-Idrisi: Shukraan, sayyid! My map will improve your kingdom’s trade
and administration. Already the Latins call it Tabula Rogeriana, the Map of Roger!
You have attained immortality!"
75215 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: Your Majesty, the Holy Roman Emperor has been
exchanging letters with the Byzantine Emperor. I advise you to tribute gold to
Emperor Komnenos to remind him that he should ignore the German’s letters."
75216 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: A little more gold is needed to keep the Byzantine
Emperor away from Italy."
75217 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: Good. You have bought yourself some time to deal with
other matters, my lord."
75218 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: The Byzantine Emperor has been goaded by the Germans
to fight us!"
75219 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: Your Majesty, the Italian cities support the Holy
Roman Emperor because he promises to restore their trade routes. We can pry them
from this alliance by clearing the seas of Saracen pirates who prey on Italian
trade. "
75220 "<BLUE>al-Idrisi: Great Sayyid, your English chancellor is wise, but many
lives can be saved by paying the pirates to spare our ships. They will instead
attack your enemies, sayyid!"
75221 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: The Italian cities have broken their alliance with
the Holy Roman Emperor! Your attacks on the pirates have shown them that a strong
Sicily means a rich Italy!"
75222 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: Unfortunately, we destroyed the Sultan al-Hassan’s
source of wealth. He now declares vendetta against us!"
75223 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: An interesting strategy, Your Majesty – the pirates
now attack your enemies. Not what I would have advised, but that is why you are the
king, my lord!"
75224 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: My lord, the Drengot lord offers to surrender now if
you allow him to keep his lands. His offer only stands for a short time. "
75225 "<BLUE>Robert of Selby: Your Majesty, the treacherous Drengots rebel against
you! Only their complete destruction will save the world from their vile ways!"
75226 "<BLUE>al-Idrisi: I underestimated these northern peoples. The German
engineers will improve your siege weapons and your defenses, sayyid."
75227 "<BLUE>al-Idrisi: You have conquered such an enterprising people, sayyid!
These Italians will help make Sicily rich!"
75228 "<BLUE>al-Idrisi: Even pirates have much to teach of their mother culture.

Villagers at all times so that they are not idle, and assure that your Town Center
never stops producing Villagers.\n\n2. If you are having trouble with this
challenge, observe your ally - he has done this before.\n\n3. To lure a Boar, send
one Villager to shoot it twice. If you only shoot it once, it may not follow you
the entire way back. After you have shot it for the second time, task your Villager
to return to the Town Center. Once the Boar is close to the Town Center, task your
other Villagers to kill it.\n\n4. Killing an animal with a military unit or a
building like a Town Center or a Watch Tower—anything that is not a Villager—will
spoil the meat and you will not be able to harvest it.\n\n5. You will need at least
six Villagers collecting food to keep your Town Center training Villagers at all
times."

your Town Center never stops producing Villagers. Only then can you hope to earn a
medal from this challenge."

work the first time that you try it, but do not worry, practice makes perfect."
72516 "You will also need a Lumber Camp and a Mill. Place the Lumber Camp right
next to the forest on your left, and place the Mill right next to the Forage Bushes
in the north of your base."

// Challenge 2
//

72608 "1. For more information about how to properly gather from Sheep and on how
to lure Boars, check out the 'Early Economy' challenge.\n\n2. Exploring is very
important in any game. You should immediately look for the two Boars and eight
Sheep in the vicinity of your Town Center. After that, you need to find your Forage
Bushes, your main Gold Mine, and the nearby herd of Deer. Most standard random
games have 2 groups of Stone Mines and 3 groups of Gold Mines in total, so you
should look for those as well. After that, you can start to search for the enemy
players.\n\n3. You should use your most damaged Villagers to build Farms. That way,
they are close to the Town Center and safe.\n\n4. You can see what tasks your
Villagers are assigned to by cycling through the minimap mode.\n\n5. Age of Empires
II: DE has introduced mixed queuing. This means that you can queue both
technologies and units at the same time. Be sure to make use of this feature.\n\n6.
Another feature that the Definitive Edition introduces is multitasking by using the
Shift hotkey. For example, if you build a House while having a Villager selected
and then Shift + right-click on a tree, the Villager will go chop that tree
immediately after it has built the House. This is a good way to avoid idling your
Villagers, but will also take some time to get used to. Other uses for this feature
include managing your Villagers gathering from Sheep or hunting Deer.\n\n7. In this
challenge, you will be told to build a Market and a Blacksmith. These two buildings
are the cheapest and therefore the fastest way to advance to the Castle Age.\n\n8.
Skipping the Loom research is risky, but will allow you to advance to the next ages
more quickly and speed your pursuit of a gold medal."
72609 "Your scouts report:\n\nWe have not gathered any information yet. You must
instruct us to explore the surrounding region."
72610 "Click on your Town Center and queue multiple Villagers."
72611 "Have two Villagers build one House, and one Villager build the second
House."
72612 "Use your Scout Cavalry to look for Sheep and other resources."
72613 "Send any idle or new Villager to collect food from Sheep. Do this until you
have six Villagers collecting from Sheep."
72614 "The next Villager that you create must build a Lumber Camp. Do not forget to
queue up more Villagers as well. When they are created, task them to collect wood."
72615 "Do not forget to keep training Villagers. Your Town Center should not fall
idle."
72616 "Make sure that your Scout keeps on exploring. You need to find all eight
Sheep and both Boars."
72617 "If you are relatively new to luring Boars, you should research Loom at your
Town Center after your next Villager is trained. Experienced players can save Loom
for later."
72618 "The next Villager that you create will have to build a House near one of the
Boars."
72619 "Set the rally point of your Town Center on your Forage Bushes, and have the
next Villager that you create build a Mill next to them."
72620 "Lure the Boar to your Town Center. You should know how to lure a Boar by now
- if you do not, play the 'Early Economy' challenge."
72621 "If you do not have the food to create more Villagers, force your Boar
hunters to drop off their food at your Town Center and then immediately task them
back to the Boar."
72622 "Lure the second Boar with the next Villager that you create."
72623 "Have the next three Villagers also forage for berries."
72624 "Build another House."
72625 "Send the next six Villagers that you create to collect wood."
72626 "Build a second Lumber Camp to spread out your Lumberjacks. This will make
your Lumberjacks more productive and ensure that you have two places to collect
wood from in case of an enemy attack."
72627 "You will need another House after the next Villager is trained."
72628 "Send the next three Villagers to build a Mining Camp and mine gold."
72629 "When your last Boar is depleted, send the idle Villagers to gather from
Sheep."
72630 "When your Sheep are nearly exhausted, start building eight Farms."
72631 "You will have enough Villagers to advance to the next age once the next one
is trained. Queue the Feudal Age research at your Town Center."
72632 "There is not much to do while you wait to reach the Feudal Age. Keep
scouting and keep an eye on your Villagers to make sure that they do not go idle.
Once you reach the Feudal Age, you will need 325 wood to build a Blacksmith and a
Market."
72633 "Queue up two more Villagers while you wait for the Feudal Age to be
researched. Have them and any other idle Villagers collect wood once they are
created."
72634 "Now, task one Villager to build a Blacksmith and task two Villagers to build
a Market."
72635 "Hint: If you have more than 900 food stockpiled, research Double-Bit Axe at
your Lumber Camp. This is a very good early technology."
72636 "Great! Now, advance to the Castle Age!"

// Challenge 3
//

72708 "1. If you are having trouble with this challenge, observe your ally - he has
done this before.\n\n2. Building additional Town Centers increases your Villager
production. Keep building them until you have three or four.\n\n3. Make sure that
your Town Centers are always training new Villagers. Build Houses to keep pace with
your Villager production.\n\n4. Use rally points to ensure that your newly-trained
Villagers immediately begin working. \n\n5. Build a lot of new Farms. You will need
the food for Villagers and for the Imperial Age research. You can also
automatically reseed your farms by selecting a Mill and clicking on the button to
the far right of the command tab (located in the lower left of the User Interface).
\n\n6. To advance to the next age, you will need two Castle Age buildings such as a
Monastery, University, or a Siege Workshop. A Castle alone also satisfies the
requirement.\n\n7. Buy and sell resources at your Market to balance your economy
when necessary."
72709 "Your scouts report:\n\n- You have just reached the Castle Age in a peaceful
location. You are free to concentrate on your economy.\n\n- On the other side of
the map is an allied base (Yellow). They will also try to boom, so you can watch
their strategy."
72710 "You have just reached the Castle Age. Select your Town Center and train as
many Villagers as you can with your remaining food. Set a rally point on trees for
now."
72711 "The key to booming is ensuring that your Town Centers are always busy. I say
'Town Centers' because you will need more than just one! You now have enough Wood
and Stone to build a second Town Center near the trees."
72712 "Great! Now make sure that this Town Center is busy by training Villagers
there as well, but do not forget your first Town Center! Remember, your Town
Centers should always be training new Villagers."
72713 "Your Villagers need Houses. Be proactive in building Houses to prevent your
Town Centers from becoming idle. Monitor your population counter at the top of the
screen."
72714 "You now have enough Wood and Stone to build a third Town Center. You may
even want to a build a fourth Town Center later to speed up your Villager
production."
72715 "Research economic technologies at the Lumber Camp, Mill, and Mining Camp to
improve the gathering rate of your Villagers."
72716 "To advance to the Imperial Age, you will need gold and to construct either
one Castle or two Castle Age buildings."
72717 "Monitor your resources. If you notice that you have a lot of wood compared
with food, take Villagers away from wood and have them build Farms."
72718 "Great! Welcome to the Imperial Age! You still need to train 100 Villagers,
but you can now research more economic technologies at the Lumber Camp, Mill, and
Mining Camp."
72719 "Great! You now have 100 Villagers, but you still must advance to the
Imperial Age to complete this challenge."
72720 "Well done! You have 100 Villagers and are advancing to the Imperial Age!
Your economy is now powerful enough for you to build large armies and vanquish your
enemies!"
72721 "You are close to being 'housed.' Construct Houses to keep up with your

// Challenge 4

72808 "1. Each unit type has their own strengths and weaknesses. Think well about
the type of rush that you want to execute. Common units to rush with are Men-at-
Arms, Archers, and Scout Cavalry.\n\n2. Keep scouting your enemy. They may be
preparing their defenses or showing a vulnerability that you can exploit.\n\n3.
Never stop producing Villagers yourself. If your rush fails, you do not want to end
up economically behind your enemy."
72809 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The enemy (Red) has camped to the northeast.\n\n-
His gold mines lie near the front of his base and are very exposed.\n\n- He has two
Lumber Camps: one in the east, and one to the north.\n\n- He has already herded and
hunted most animals near his base, but he has placed a Mill near his Ostriches.\n\
n- The enemy is not mining any stone."
72810 "It is time to take the fight to your enemy before he can bolster his
defenses. Train an army and attack him. Kill 5 Villagers as quickly as possible."
72811 "Three soldiers is already enough to attack with. The longer you wait, the
stronger the enemy gets."
72812 "Now that you have a decent raiding party, you can start upgrading your
soldiers. Only research technologies that will improve the units that you have
trained."
72813 "Archers are a good offensive unit due to their range and decent attack.
Research Fletching at a Blacksmith to increase their attack and range."
72814 "Militia are effective against Villagers, but are slow and their upgrades are
expensive. Research the Man-at-Arms upgrade at the Barracks and the Forging upgrade
at the Blacksmith to make them more dangerous attackers."
72815 "The speed and agility of Scout Cavalry make them excellent raiders. Their
high food cost can slow the growth of your economy, however. Research Forging at
the Blacksmith and Bloodlines at the Stable to augment their offensive
capabilities."
72816 "Skirmishers and Spearmen perform poorly against Villagers, so you may want
to invest in other units."
72817 "Try to avoid approaching the enemy Town Center for now. You are not able to
destroy it yet."
72818 "Keep an eye on your own economy while you attack the enemy. You want to keep
collecting more resources and training Villagers so as to not fall behind."
72819 "Keep on scouting the enemy base with your Scout. It is important to find
weak points in its defenses."
72820 "To kill Villagers more effectively, block their path to their Town Center
with your soldiers."
72821 "That is the first Villager down. Good job."
72822 "Another Villager is down."
72823 "Three Villagers down - two more to go."

72908 "1. Keep training new Villagers.\n\n2. It is possible to fight back with
Villagers if your enemy's units are weak, but try to avoid engagements where you
are outmatched.\n\n3. Watch Towers are a great way to defend your economy, but they
are also a big investment. Always make sure that melee units cannot approach them,
either. Until you research Murder Holes, your towers cannot fire at adjacent enemy
units."
72909 "Your scouts report:\n\n- We are facing one enemy player (Red). We do not
know much about him, but we expect him to attack our base at any moment.\n\n- Many
of our mines are located to the south, exposed to the enemy.\n\n- The gaps to the
south of our base can be easily closed off with buildings or walls."
72910 "Advancing to the next age quickly can be important, but your opponents will
try to prevent you from gaining this advantage! In this mission, we will try to
advance to the next age while under pressure from attacking enemies."
72911 "Use your Scout to look for enemy buildings. You can anticipate an attack if
you know what the enemy is training."
72912 "Do not forget to wall off any weak spots and build Watch Towers where
needed. The enemy will arrive at any moment!"

73008 "1. Incorporate the landscape into your tactical decisions. Cliffs and hills
in particular can be used to your advantage.\n\n2. Use your units according to
their respective strengths:\n\n- Archers are ranged units that are strong against
Men-at-Arms and Spearmen, but weak against Skirmishers and cavalry units. They are
best used in hit-and-run attacks against slower units.\n\n- Men-at-Arms are generic
melee units that are especially strong against buildings and certain types of
infantry, but are weak against cavalry and ranged units.\n\n- Spearmen deal
considerable bonus damage to cavalry, but are weak against nearly every other
unit.\n\n- Skirmishers are strong against Archers and Spearmen, but perform poorly
against other units, especially because they cannot fire on units that are too
close to them.\n\n- Scout Cavalry are strong against ranged units, but should avoid
Spearmen or large groups of Archers."
73009 "Your scouts report:\n\n- A Feudal Age army consisting of Archers,
Skirmishers, Men-at-Arms, Spearmen, and Scout Cavalry is at your disposal to repel
the enemy attacks.\n\n- Your opponent (Red) has gathered a Feudal Age army as well
and plans to invade your territory. "
73010 "Welcome! In this challenge, you must defend several areas against enemy
attacks. Choose the units that are best suited to fend off each enemy army and try
not to lose too many of your own soldiers."
73011 "Consult the Hints section if you need a reminder about unit strengths and
weaknesses."
73012 "The enemy is preparing to attack you. Study the composition of the enemy
forces and choose the soldiers that you want to send into battle by selecting one
of the unit types available to you."

despair! The silver medal is still within reach."
73018 "Achieving the silver medal is no longer possible, but do not worry. Use the
remainder of this attempt to learn more about army compositions. It will certainly
help you in the future!"
73019 "The final battle approaches! This time, you are allowed to select two unit
types with which to fend off the enemy. Try to use your units according to their
strengths and weaknesses."

an attack bonus against enemy units at a lower level. Try to lure your enemy to the
hills to use the terrain to your advantage."

Flank Formation to open a gap and have your units fire on the Mangonel. After that,
use Line Formation to avoid the next Mangonel shot. Repeat this until the Mangonel
is destroyed.\n\n2. Scorpions are great against slow-moving, densely packed units
like infantry. To minimize the damage that they inflict, use Staggered Formation.\
n\n3. Use control groups to manage your units. To create a control group, select a
group of units and simultaneously press Ctrl and one of the number keys (1-9).
Then, to select the control group, press the number key that you assigned to it.
You can have up to 9 groups at the same time.\n\n4. Use the terrain to your
advantage. If you fight from higher ground, your units will deal more damage to the
enemy units."
73109 "Your scouts report:\n\n- You begin in an allied encampment (Yellow) to the
north and must travel down to the end point of the path south. The path is blocked
by groups of enemy units (Red). You must destroy all of the enemy units to make it
through. The enemy forces consist of Long Swordsmen, Pikemen, Elite Skirmishers,
Mangonels, and Scorpions."
73110 "Welcome to the next challenge. Now, it is time for you to learn about battle
formations and control groups."
73111 "The enemy has placed several obstacles on the path ahead. The first one is a
Mangonel."
73112 "Approach the Mangonel and when it shoots, use Flank Formation to avoid its
projectiles."
73113 "Excellent! The enemy has stationed several Scorpions at the next point. Your
units are unlikely to avoid their bolts entirely, but using Staggered Formation
will reduce the damage that they inflict."
73114 "I hope that you did not lose too many units. Your units have healed in
preparation for the next roadblock. This consists of an army of swordsmen. Use the
terrain to your advantage."
73115 "Those swordsmen were too slow for you. You will have to use control groups
to overcome the next obstacle. Travel south until you encounter a group of
Knights."
73116 "The Knights are few in number, but they are strong. Two groups of enemies
wait ahead. Use control groups to split and manage your army while you engage
them."
73117 "Well done! With some good management, you can deal with large numbers of
enemies. Your last challenge will be the hardest."
73118 "A combined force of Mangonels and Pikemen blocks the final stretch. Use
everything that you have learned to cut your way through it."
73119 "You have missed the chance to earn the gold medal this time, but the silver
medal is still within reach!"
73120 "Earning the silver medal is no longer possible. Use the remainder of this

73208 "1. Fire Ships are a great counter to War Galleys, but keep them away from
enemy Demolition Ships.\n\n2. War Galleys can attack from a long range, but are
powerless against the flames of Fire Ships in close combat. Use them in large
groups to outnumber the enemy fleet, and, if possible, pair them with Fire Ships.\
n\n3. Due to their area-of-effect attack, Demolition Ships will destroy or heavily
damage most ships or groups of ships in a single devastating explosion. They are
useful against any warship, but only if they can manage to reach it. They can also
be devastating against Transport Ships and land units.\n\n4. It is not easy to
maneuver a Demolition Ship close to an enemy ship. Distract your opponent with
other ships before sending your Demolition Ships to attack.\n\n5. Do not hesitate
to use your Demolition Ships--if destroyed, they will only count as losses if they

73308 "1. Most siege weapons can only be constructed in your Siege Workshop. An
exception is the Trebuchet, which is available only in the Imperial Age and can be
produced in your Castle.\n\n2. Battering Rams are the most effective siege weapons
available in the Castle Age for tearing down enemy buildings and fortifications.
Mangonels are effective against ranged units, siege weapons, and most buildings,
but are extremely weak against fortifications that outrange them, such as Castles
and Guard Towers. Do not waste resources and time constructing other siege
engines.\n\n3. If you have a Castle, you can train Petards in it. These units can
blow up enemy buildings, but it is important to array them in staggered formation
to make Castle fire less damaging to the group. They are less effective than
Battering Rams, however, and should not be used as a replacement for the latter."
73309 "Your scouts report:\n\n- You control a Castle Age camp in the east of the
map. You already have the buildings that you need to prepare the upcoming siege.\n\
n- The enemy (Red) has built a settlement to the west, which is guarded by a
Castle. To defeat the enemy, you will need to destroy the Castle. Your opponent
will not go on the offensive, but will defend himself if you invade his realm."

the north, near the Nile, in order to help the Egyptian caliph repulse the Crusader
siege of Cairo.\n\n- The Frankish crusaders have established camps in the west
(Blue) and in the east (Cyan). Their armies consist mostly of Knights, Men-at-arms,
Pikemen and Crossbowmen.\n\n- Cairo (Red), the Egyptian capital, is located in the
center of the map. The city has a small garrison commanded by Mamelukes."

population limit of 100.\n\n2. Keep your allies' trade routes open and they will
reward you.\n\n3. Assign units to guard allied Trade Carts."
107703 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Saladin's army (Green and Purple) operates out of
a small encampment to the south, which lies in the middle of an important trade
route between the allied cities of Medina and Aqaba.\n\n- Aqaba (Yellow) lies to
the north. It has moderately strong defenses, but will fall easily to a
concentrated assault.\n\n- Medina (Orange) is situated in the east. It is almost
completely undefended and vulnerable to enemy attacks.\n\n- Reynald has constructed
a naval base in the west (Blue) and a large camp in the northeast (Cyan). He will
attack with warships and Knights, possibly also training Archers, Skirmishers,
Mangonels, and Battering Rams. Additionally, several bandits (Red) have been
wreaking havoc on the trade routes."

limits of 75.\n\n2. In this case, the best defense is a good offense.\n\n3. There
are not many fish in Lake Tiberias. Support your economies with Farms.\n\n4. As
with any Relic, your enemy may garrison the Piece of the True Cross in a Monastery.
Beware the Templars and Hospitallers — they are your most dangerous opponents.\n\
n5. There is precious little stone in the desert. You will have to rely on the
strength of troops, not fortifications."
107753 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Saladin’s army (Green and Purple) initially
command a substantial army of Skirmishers and Spearmen. The Saracens own two camps:
one in the north near the Horns of Hattin (Green), and another in the south
(Purple).\n\n- The Knights Templar (Yellow) and the Hospitallers (Orange) control
the west of the map. Both orders will field Knights and siege weapons. They may
also send infantry and archery units to attack your camps.\n\n- English Crusaders
(Red) have camped on the shore of Lake Tiberias. They could become a threat if they
manage to reach the Castle Age, as they will then begin to construct dangerous
siege weapons such as Scorpions and Battering Rams.\n\n- Crusaders from Jerusalem
(Blue) have been sighted in the south, Reynald de Chatillon among them. Their
forces consist primarily of Knights and Spearmen."

107801 "Saladin's Army"


107802 "1. Saladin and his army are restricted to a population limit of 100.\n\n2.
The two Crusader orders have outlying bases that should be dealt with before
assaulting the city.\n\n3. Trebuchets can make short work of towers from a
distance.\n\n4. Cut off Jerusalem's food supply by raiding outlying Farms."
107803 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Saladin's army (Green and Purple) has assembled to
the northeast of Jerusalem and has already set up a small camp.\n\n- Jerusalem

archery units and their powerful Cataphracts to parry any assaults that come their
way.\n\n- The Hospitallers (Orange) camp to the west, but they also own some
military buildings inside of Jerusalem. They will send Teutonic Knights, Scorpions
and Knights into battle.\n\n- The Knights Templar (Yellow) have taken their

defeat two enemy cities."
107853 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Saladin (Green) controls a fortified town near the
coast, but is initially short on soldiers.\n\n- Saladin’s Army (Purple) controls
Hebron, a small village in the center of the map with a Market.\n\n- Tyre (Yellow),
your most threatening enemy, is located on a fortified island to the north. They
occasionally attack with Galleons, Fire Ships and Cannon Galleons. They will also
send in Transport Ships full of Mangonels, Trebuchets, and Serjeants from time to
time.\n\n- Tiberias (Blue) is a city to the east. They will field Camel Riders,
Knights, and Battering Rams.\n\n- Ascalon (Orange) is a stronghold in the very
south of the map. Their initial army consists of Cavaliers, Crossbowmen, and
Onagers, and they also have some warships. Ascalon will behave defensively and will
not besiege your city.\n\n- The Tripoli Guards (Cyan) command a small army of
Knights, Crossbowmen and siege equipment. They have no means of replenishing their
forces, however."

100.\n\n2. A Wonder is large. Consider deleting some excess Houses to make room for
it.\n\n3. Attacking one of your enemies early can benefit you later on, but be
careful venturing outside Acre's walls.\n\n4. Managing a large city can be
confusing. It might prove helpful to rebuild military buildings where you can
easily find them.\n\n5. Saladin’s Persian allies have a forward base on the
mainland for resource gathering which must be defended if it is to survive."
107903 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Saladin (Green) controls Acre, a well fortified
city on the coast, which is currently surrounded by the Crusader armies.\n\n-
Saladin’s Army (Purple) have two small camps: one to the south, on an isolated
island, and one to the east on the mainland. The mainland camp is close to
Jerusalem (Grey) and vulnerable to attacks, while the island base is far from the
action.\n\n- The Genoese (Cyan), Franks (Blue), and the Knights Templar (Yellow)
camp to the north. The Genoese will construct warships, while the Franks will train
Knights, Hand Cannoneers and Bombard Cannons. The Knights Templar will send in
Teutonic Knights and rams.\n\n- To the east, Richard the Lionheart (Red) and
Jerusalem (Grey) have taken their positions. The English will for the most part
rely on their feared Longbowmen, while Jerusalem will send Light Cavalry and
swordsmen into battle."

108551 "Attila's Huns"


108552 "1. The Huns may only reach the Castle Age and support a population of 75
each.\n\n2. Bleda may be defeated in several ways; you can change your stance with
him to Enemy and attack him, see that he dies in an accident, or refuse his
challenge altogether and flee the Hunnic camp.\n\n3. Look for allies in unlikely
places. The Scythians (Green) are not on good terms with their neighbors, so it may
be possible to convince them to fight against each other."
108553 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Attila the Hun (Yellow) initially commands no
troops as all of the Huns are loyal to the Hunnic king, Bleda (Purple). Attila must
somehow depose Bleda in order to inherit troops and villagers.\n\n- Attila’s Huns
(Orange) similarly command no troops until Bleda has been deposed.\n\nThere are
three other enemies scattered across the landscape:\n\n- The Eastern Roman Empire
(Blue) has a fort to the south where it holds some Huns captive. The Romans rely on
their infantry in combat.\n\n- The Scythians (Green) have a scattered encampment to
the west. Because the Scythians are a nomadic people, there are unmined reserves of
stone in their area.\n\n- The most dangerous enemy is the Persian city (Red) across
the bay to the east. The Persians hoard lots of gold, but their army consists of
Mangonels and War Elephants as well as a considerable navy."
108554 "<ORANGE>Edeko the Hun: Bleda will lead us to ruin. Perhaps he should not
return from his boar hunt. Accidents can happen…"

108602 "1. The Huns are still confined to the Castle Age and restricted to a
population limit of 125 each.\n\n2. Each of the small villages (not counting the
Roman fort) has a resource: food, wood, gold, stone, villagers, and troops. Your
Tarkans will suggest what to do in each village to capture a resource. \n\n3. This
is a raid—get what you can and get out! Destroying some buildings will grant you
resources, but it is not necessary to raze every enemy building. \n\n4. Note
locations of resources. You might need them at a later date."
108603 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Attila's Huns (Yellow and Orange) invade the
Eastern Roman Empire with several cavalry, but no Villagers. They expect only token
resistance from all of the villages. \n\n- The exception is the Roman army (Blue),
which has a fortified base to the east. Do not attempt to invade it until you are
prepared.\n\n- Just east of the Huns' starting position lies the village of Naissus
(Green), whose lumberyards could provide you with much needed wood.\n\n-
Immediately to the south of your starting position lies Sofia (Red), whose
bountiful farms have filled up the town's food stores for the winter. This storage
is ripe for the taking!\n\n- To the southwest lies the fortified town of
Dyrrhachium (Cyan). It is whispered that Hunnic warriors, captured during earlier
raids, are held captive here.\n\n- To the far south, where the river reaches the
sea, lies Thessalonica (Purple). Their Villagers are poorly defended and might
prove useful in building up the Hunnic camp.\n\n- A little further east of
Thessalonica lies Adrianople (Grey), famed for its rich gold mines."
108604 "Scythian Wild Woman: You are most foolish to trespass here. If you bring us
6 of your villagers, we will make it worth your while."

each.\n\n2. Although your goal is to collect gold, do not worry about spending it
to train troops. Huns make money by extorting the Romans, not by conservation!\n\
n3. Destroying Roman Town Centers, Docks, Markets and similar buildings will scare
the Romans into paying up. Despite their protests, do not cease until you have
10,000 gold.\n\n4. You cannot merely trade resources for the gold that you need.
Your objective is to exact tribute from the Romans."
108653 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Huns (Yellow and Orange) have a small camp
that they will need to defend against early attacks from Marcianopolis (Green).\n\
n- Marcianopolis does not have a strong army, but their town is walled, which can
prevent an early Hunnic attack. Once you breach the gates, however, the town should
crumble.\n\n- Phillippopolis (Red) is defended only by a few towers initially, but
they will train an army of infantry and Light Cavalry.\n\n- Constantinople (Blue)
is by far the greatest threat. The city's famous walls are very hard to siege, but
it is not necessary to do so. Extort money from the Romans and you will be
victorious."
108654 "+ Stockpile 10,000 gold in tribute from the Romans."

108702 "1. The Huns are restricted to a population limit of 150 each but can
finally advance to the Imperial Age.\n\n2. Your forces begin scattered. Look for a
good place for an initial camp while avoiding wolves. In the dead of winter, forage
sites are hard to come by, but there are hungry deer to be found. \n\n3. You cannot
match the Frankish technology, but you do have the strengh of numbers. Unleash the
horde upon the cities of Gaul!"
108703 "Your scouts report:\n\n- After invading Gaul, the Huns (Yellow and Orange)
begin scattered. They must regroup while avoiding stumbling too close to Burgundy
(Purple) in the south, Metz (Red) to the north, or the great city of Orléans (Cyan)
to the northwest. \n\n- Burgundy trains archery units, rams, and infantry, but is
not well-defended and might fall to an early attack. The Burgundians are easily
intimidated and might even be persuaded to join the Hunnic cause. \n\n- Metz makes
up for Burgundy's weakness with an army of Knights and Throwing Axemen. Their
Castle and proximity to Orléans offers them some defense. \n\n- Orléans is a walled
city protected by towers and Castles. Its army of Spearmen, Knights, and Monks may
prove a challenge for the Huns. \n\n- Scouts also report that the Western Roman
Empire is sending Aetius' army to reinforce Gaul. The Romans have no town in the
area, but their legions and cavalry could strike at any time."

108752 "1. The Huns and their Ostrogothic allies are restricted to a population
limit of 150.\n\n2. This battle will play like a Death Match. Prepare for attack
almost immediately, but do not forget to collect resources to replenish your
losses."
108753 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Huns (Yellow) and their allies, the Ostrogoths
(Red), occupy the right-hand side of the battlefield.\n\n- The Romans (Blue) and
their allies, the Visigoths (Green) and Alans (Cyan), are drawn up across the creek
on the left-hand side of the battlefield.\n\n- The embattled Franks (Grey) have
been caught in the middle of the battle, and will soon be defeated. Their fate is
none of the Huns' concern.\n\n- Among your enemies, the Romans are the most
dangerous. Their infantry, Centurions, and siege weapons will initially try and hit
the Ostrogoths on the Huns' flank. The Visigoths train Huskarls and some cavalry,
while the Alan force is composed mostly of Knights and Cavalry Archers."

108802 "1. The Huns are restricted to a population limit of 150 each.\n\n2. Do not
attack the city of Rome. It is not a threat, and you need someone left to surrender
to you.\n\n3. The Hun unique technology, Atheism, is very useful if your opponent
attempts a Relic or Wonder victory. \n\n4. Do not send all of your troops on the
offensive if you lack sufficient resources to defend your town. \n\n5. When you do
go on the offensive, make sure that you have many fully upgraded units, as your
enemies will work together to stop you."
108803 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Huns (Yellow and Orange) begin with ample
resources in the foothills of the Alps. Below lie the well-defended cities of
Northern Italy. \n\n- Mediolanum (Green) has an aggressive army that may come
looking for you if you take too long to go on the offensive. Mediolanum trains
Knights and Archers and has a small navy.\n\n- Patavium (Purple) also lies to the
north and may attack early. Patavium is known for its archery units and siege
weapons.\n\n- In the northern marshes lies Aquileia (Red), which has few soldiers
initially, but can eventually field Knights, Spearmen, and Scorpions.\n\n- As the
Huns advance through Italy, they will eventually come into contact with Verona
(Cyan), whose Knights, Archers, and Throwing Axemen offer the final defense of the
Western Roman Empire.\n\n- Rome itself (Blue) lost most of its forces fighting the
Huns in Gaul. After the Huns defeat the other cities, they can walk into Rome and
proclaim themselves the new heirs to the Empire."

Castle Age and a population limit of 100.\n\n2. The Eastern Romans have taken up
position at the center of the battlefield. Assure that they survive.\n\n3. Tribute
surplus resources to your allies. They will use them to train and upgrade their
armies.\n\n4. The enemy Roman army is led by Centurions, who boost the fighting
abilities of nearby infantry. Eliminate them to demoralize and weaken enemy units."
110253 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Visigoths (Green) have camped on the eastern
flank of the battlefield. General Stilicho (Red) leads a Hunnic contingent on the
western flank.\n\n- The Eastern Romans (Purple) have a large camp in the center
from which they will lead the attack on the Western Romans (Blue). Aside from
generic units, they will train Cataphracts.\n\n- On the other side of the
battlefield, the Franks under General Arbogast (Cyan) hold the eastern flank.
Arbogast will train infantry, Throwing Axemen, and Knights.\n\n- Emperor Eugenius
(Yellow) has set up camp on the western enemy flank and will train Archers,
Pikemen, and Scorpions.\n\n- The Western Roman camp is in the center of the enemy

110302 "Your scouts report:\n\n-The Visigoths (Green and Cyan) are far from home
and do not have Villagers or resources to construct a base. There are, however,
several locations where new soldiers can be recruited.\n\n- Additional resources
and buildings can be obtained by sacking the four Greek cities: Sparta, Argos,
Corinth, and Athens.\n\n- Sparta (Red) lies south of your starting position. Its
defense force of Knights, Pikemen, and Long Swordmen should be relatively easy to
master.\n\n- To the east is Argos (Yellow). A force of Light Cavalry, Elite
Skirmishers, and Scorpions protects its walls. Its proximity to the sea makes it
possible to disembark troops inside of the city walls.\n\n- Corinth (Blue) lies on
the isthmus between the Peloponnese and the rest of Greece, which makes it of
important strategic value. It fields Knights and Crossbowmen and is known to be an
important trade center. Securing that trade will generate gold for the Visigoths.\
n\n- The famed city of Athens (Orange) lies to the northeast of your camp, beyond
Corinth, and cannot be reached initially. It is defended by Light Cavalry and Long
Swordsmen. It is said that there is an important silver mine to the north of it.
Although it does not generate as much as it once did, seizing it will incur
additional gold tribute from the Athenians.\n\n- Eastern Roman defense forces
(Purple) are scattered about Greece to protect it from barbarian raids. However,
their main army is coming in from the northwest with the aim to end all raiding. It
will train Knights, Long Swordsmen, Monks, and, most dangerous of all,
Cataphracts."

110352 "1. Alaric (Green) and Ataulf (Cyan) can reach the Imperial Age and support
a population of 150 (160 in the Imperial Age). Gunpowder is unavailable to the
fifth century Goths.\n\n2. As Italy has been weakened by several Germanic
invasions, you can take your time to build up your forces, as the enemy will be
slow in preparing theirs.\n\n3. Avoid approaching Ravenna until the emperor is
willing to speak with Alaric. The Visigoths do not seek to destroy the Roman
Empire, but simply to obtain a better bargain from it. Nevertheless, sack the Roman
cities in Northern Italy to demonstrate your tenacity.\n\n4. The strength of the
Visigoths lies in their numbers."
110353 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Ataulf (Cyan) has taken control of part of the
Gothic army to assist Alaric (Green). The combined Gothic forces will be
unstoppable when working together.\n\n- Situated on the Adriatic coast, the city of
Aquileia (Blue) has rather strong fortifications. Taking it with just infantry and
no siege equipment might prove difficult. Aquileia will train Pikemen and
Crossbowmen.\n\n- South of the Visigoths is the city of Cremona (Yellow). Its
strength lies with its army of Knights, swordsmen, and Scorpions, which can counter
Gothic Huskarls.\n\n- Rumor has it that the Gothic commander Sarus (Purple) has
joined the Romans. He is a longtime rival of Alaric and knows him well."

110402 "1. Alaric's force (Green) and Ataulf’s force (Cyan) can support a
population of 200 (210 in the Imperial Age).\n\n2. Rome is a strong city, but it
will be helpless if its walls are breached.\n\n3. Your allies will offer as much
help as they can."
110403 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Visigoths are besieging Rome from several
directions. Alaric (Green) leads the main attack on the southern walls, while
Ataulf (Cyan) attacks the western walls and another section of the Visigothic army
(Yellow) attacks the eastern walls. The Visigothic army has sent word that they are
ready to breach the enemy walls. They only await Alaric's orders.\n\n- The citizens
of Rome (Red) care little for the conflict and are only interested in their own
survival, so they will not offer any resistance.\n\n- The City Garrison (Purple)
and Imperial Legions (Blue) are a different matter. Their armies of infantry,
ranged units, and cavalry will defend Rome with their lives."

110451 "Visigoths"
110452 "1. The Visigoths (Cyan and Yellow) can support a population of 150 (160 in
the Imperial Age).\n\n2. You start with a large cache of gold, but it will not last
forever and there is little gold to be found in the countryside. The best way to
obtain additional gold is to take the cities of Gaul.\n\n3. The Romans are still
recovering from the sack of Rome, but even now they remain a formidable power.\n\
n4. Rumor has it that Sarus is here in Gaul as well. Although it is not critical,
it may be a good idea to get rid of this traitor once and for all.\n\n5. The enemy
will try to overrun your position early on, so you need to prepare your defenses
quickly. After the situation has stabilized, make use of the Goths' strengths to
quickly mass a huge infantry army and overwhelm your enemies with your superior
numbers."
110453 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Western Roman Army (Blue) is reeling from its
defeats in Italy, but it still has a large army in Iberia where it was sent to deal
with the Vandal and Suebi invaders. Now that Rome has been sacked, it may return to
Gaul. It consists of Cataphracts, Legionaries, and Halberdiers.\n\n- The city of
Narbo (Red), one of your targets, lies to the south near the Mediterranean Sea. It
will field Arbalesters, Light Cavalry, and rams.\n\n- To the north is the city of
Valentia (Orange). It will field infantry and heavy cavalry.\n\n- The last of the
three Gallic cities, which the Romans call Tolosa (Gray), lies to the far west.
Tolosa is one of the strongest of the enemy cities, as it trains Paladins, Throwing
Axemen, Monks, and Trebuchets.\n\n- Finally, Sarus (Purple) is familiar with the
Visigoth tactics and will try to match our large infantry armies with his own. It
is unlikely that his soldiers will continue fighting once he is dead, however, so
slaying him should be a priority."
110454 "<AQUA>Visigoth Soldier: We still have much gold left from sacking Rome, but
this gold will not last. We should use it to create our own kingdom and conquer all

111752 "1. Tariq's armies (Yellow and Orange) are restricted to the Castle Age and
their population limit is 120. Furthermore, this campaign is set centuries before
the use of gunpowder in Europe.\n\n2. The Berbers and Saracens have access to a
wide array of cavalry units that are light, inexpensive, and excel at
outmaneuvering and countering most enemy units. Needless to say, they should form
the core of your fighting force.\n\n3. The city of Cordoba and the Visigoth
fortresses are well-fortified. You will require well-supported siege equipment to
breach them. To this end, Tariq's forces have brought with them the advanced
technology of Capped Rams.\n\n4. Fish are abundant in the Atlantic Ocean and the
Alboran Sea, but beware of marauding Visigoth warships.\n\n5. If you run low on
gold, you can trade across the sea with the Berber city of Ceuta (Red) to the
south. Unguarded pirate hoards are also rumored to be located on various islands."
111753 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Tariq Ibn Ziyad's armies (Yellow and Orange) have
landed at Gibraltar and must defeat the army of the Visigoth king Roderic (Green)
in order to establish a foothold in the region.\n\n- The army of the Visigoth king
Roderic (Green) has assembled on the far side of the ford in the northwest and is
comprised mainly of infantry units with a few supporting cavalry and ranged units.
It is loosely unified, however, and will be demoralized beyond help should its
leader fall in battle.\n\n- A pair of Visigoth fortresses (Cyan) in the northeast
watch over much of the region, and their troops will aggressively resist any
invader. The core of their armies is infantry, but they will employ small
contingents of Light Cavalry and siege engines as well, and send warships to attack
by sea.\n\n- In the north lies the well-fortified city of Cordoba (Purple), which
must be taken if the Berber army is to control southern Iberia. Legions of Knights,
Crossbowmen, Pikemen, and Monks will provide staunch resistance on the land, while
their warships will defend the city from amphibious incursions.\n\n- There are a
couple of local villages (Grey) spread across the region that may be willing to aid
your war effort once Roderic's army is defeated."

111802 "1. The armies of Tariq ibn Ziyad and Musa ibn Nusayr cannot yet reach the
Imperial Age, but their population limit is 150. Additionally, the Berber
shipbuilders did not join this expedition, so building Docks or ships is
impossible.\n\n2. Strike quickly at Toledo - the Visigoth garrison is weak, but
messengers have been sent out to the surrounding towns and will return with
reinforcements if you wait too long.\n\n3. Mountainous regions are rich in mineral
resources. Additionally, if you run low on gold, you can trade with each other or a
local trade post east of Toledo.\n\n4. Visit the locals in the countryside - they
may have interesting information to share.\n\n5. The enemy towns are preparing to
build Wonders as a mark of defiance - do not allow them to do so!"
111803 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The army of Tariq ibn Ziyad (Yellow) has gathered
on a promontory just southeast of the city of Toledo (Grey), the Visigoth capital,
which lies in the center of the map.\n\n- The Visigoth garrison of Toledo (Green)
represents only a token defense of the city, and is comprised of infantry, Archers,
and a few Scorpions. They have also erected several makeshift towers guarding the
main gates and the bridge across the River Tagus.\n\n- The army of Musa ibn Nusayr
(Orange) holds the city of Cordoba in the southeast of the map, and is poised to
strike at its adversaries to the west.\n\n- Several local settlements (Grey) are
situated in the east of the map. They will serve as valuable trade partners should
your gold supply run low.\n\n\nFour of the surrounding fortified towns pose
significant threats:\n\n- Seville (Blue) lies far to the south, and will field
armies of Crossbowmen, Light Cavalry, Pikemen, and a few siege units.\n\n- Merida
(Red) is situated in the southwest, and its formidable fortress complex is guarded
primarily by Huskarls, Long Swordsmen, and Cavalry Archers.\n\n- Talavera (Purple)
controls the far west of the map, and trains Knights, Light Cavalry, Skirmishers,
and siege units.\n\n- Guadalajara (Cyan) lies far to the north. Their army is
composed of Huskarls, Pikemen, Skirmishers, and siege units. A small military camp
also guards the mines in the mountains east of Toledo."

your ranged units will be far more effective!"

111852 "1. The Umayyad-Berber armies can both advance to the Imperial Age and
support a population of 200.\n\n2. Your bases are divided and cannot be connected
until the two southernmost Asturian fortresses are destroyed.\n\n3. You can ignore
the Kingdom of Asturias if you like, but its control of strategic locations and
constant raids on your flank might make them a necessary target. Each Asturian
fortress is also home to a precious holy relic - capturing them can greatly boost
your gold income.\n\n4. In addition to being a potential trade partner, Theodemir
of Murcia has pledged to occasionally provide your armies with tribute and military
support.\n\n5. The Mediterranean Sea is an abundant source of fish, and a trade
route to the Balearic Islands would be quite lucrative, provided that you can
defend it from enemy vessels."
111853 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Umayyad-Berber armies (Yellow and Orange)
advance in a two-pronged assault on northeastern Iberia. One camp, situated in the
south of the map, is poised to strike at the Visigothic cities of Zaragoza and
Narbonne, while the other is located in the far west near the Kingdom of Asturias.\
n\n- To the far south lies the Visigothic realm of Murcia (Blue), an ally and
dependency of the Umayyad Caliphate.\n\n- The city of Zaragoza (Green) guards the
easternmost crossing of the Ebro River. Zaragoza will field an army of Knights,
Pikemen, and Skirmishers, and a small navy safeguards the city from seaborne
incursions up the Ebro.\n\n- The city of Narbonne (Cyan) lies in the far northeast
of the map on the Mediterranean coastline. Their army consists of infantry
supported by auxiliary Light Cavalry. Their navy prowls the Mediterranean, eager to
harass any attempts at fishing and trade.\n\n- The Kingdom of Asturias (Red) is by
far the greatest threat. Multiple fortresses in strategic locations sprawl over the
western half of the map, and their army of infantry, cavalry, and powerful siege
engines will present a serious challenge to your forces.\n\n- The locals (Grey) on
the Balearic Islands in the east of the map are willing trade partners and may
allow you to use their mines."

111901 "Umayyad Army"


111902 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The armies of Abd ar-Rahman al-Ghafiqi (Yellow and
Orange) have assembled near a local village just south of the Pyrenees. Their
objective is to cross the treacherous region and reach the other side of the
mountain range in the far north.\n\n- A few local villages (Grey) dot the map,
overlooking important junctions and mountain passes. Their location makes them apt
resting places but seemingly little more.\n\nThree enemies pose a significant
threat to the Umayyad army as it crosses the Pyrenees:\n\n- The Asturians (Red) are
only a faint presence in this region, but their fortified bastion in the center of
the map and well trained, heavily armored troops nevertheless pose a threat worth
considering.\n\n- The Visigoths (Purple) prowl the eastern Pyrenees and are based
in a fortress overlooking one of the major eastern passes. Their balanced army of
infantry, ranged units, and cavalry will provide stout opposition to any who would
pass their way.\n\n- The Basques (Green) are native to the western Pyrenees. Their
army of light infantry, javelineers, and cavalry would normally only pose a token
threat, but their adept strategic use of the terrain makes them deadly to even a
better-equipped force."
111903 "<ORANGE>Berber Horseman: Sire, this road leads south into the maw of an
enemy fortress! North is the way we want."
111904 "<ORANGE>Berber Horseman: A dreaded enemy fortress lies just down the road.
Our destination is north, not south!"

111952 "1. The Umayyad-Berber armies (Yellow and Orange) can both support a
population of 200.\n\n2. Upon the destruction of an enemy Monastery, an enemy army
will rush from the nearest enemy city or fortress to the village that you are
attacking. These armies are too strong to fight and should be avoided at all
costs.\n\n3. There are three suitable locations for you to establish your camp -
one in the far south of the map, one in the east of the map, or you can choose to
expand the camp that you begin with. Each choice has different benefits and
drawbacks.\n\n4. Fishing is plentiful in the Bay of Biscay, although your enemies
will do their best to harass your fleet.\n\n5. Do not attempt to attack the
fortresses of the Frankish army or the citadel of Bordeaux without advanced siege
equipment.\n\n6. Several Relics lie scattered around the map - some within the
walls of Frankish fortresses, and some nestled in the countryside."
111953 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The armies of Abd ar-Rahman al-Ghafiqi (Yellow and
Orange) have made camp in the south of Aquitania and have been conducting raids
while awaiting reinforcements. Their sights are set in particular on the Frankish
city of Bordeaux.\n\n- Three Aquitanian villages (Purple) lie in close proximity to
the Berber camp. They are providing the Franks with supplies but are only defended
by a token force and should crumble easily to a swift raid.\n\n- The city of
Bordeaux (Blue) lies near the mouth of the Garonne river, boasting excellent
fortifications and a strong land army of mixed composition. Their navy prowls the
Bay of Biscay, picking off enemy ships at will.\n\n- The Frankish army (Red) is by
far your most dangerous opponent. Numerous fortresses sprawl across the
countryside, and hordes of battle-hardened Paladins, Throwing Axemen, swordsmen,
and auxiliary troops will be a true test for the proud Berber cavalry."
111954 "<ORANGE>Berber Horseman: We have the resources to outfit a handful of extra
troops, but we are otherwise on our own until reinforcements arrive."
111955 "<ORANGE>Berber Horseman: Frankish Paladins approach from the northwest.
Make haste to our camp!"
111956 "<ORANGE>Berber Horseman: Frankish Paladins are crossing the river. Flee

leads from the front lines. If his elephant is slain from beneath him, he will
return to the camp to recover and will be unable to take the field again.\n\n3.
Destroying Udayadityavarman I's field camps will deprive him of his offensive
potential, but you will still have to take the battle to Angkor.\n\n4. The city of
Angkor is well fortified. Bringing some siege weapons along to help breach the
citadel would be wise.\n\n5. Khmer elephant units are mobile, hardy, and quite
effective against massed enemy forces."
113004 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Suryavarman I (Cyan) has established a camp in the
west of the map, while another of his armies under Sangrama (Green) has constructed
a base in the far south. From these footholds it will be possible to launch attacks
towards Angkor, Udayadityavarman I's capital.\n\n- Udayadityavarman I has
concentrated his forward armies (Red and Purple) in three military camps. Two block
the western and southern routes to Angkor, while a third guards the trade route
southeast of Suryavarman I's camp. These forces are composed of levied Spearmen,
Skirmishers, and Light Cavalry (Red) and swordsmen and Archers (Purple). They may
later add siege weapons to their offensive pushes.\n\n- The city of Angkor (Orange)
lies in the northeast of the map. Its garrison consists primarily of Crossbowmen
and infantry but may also contain Monks and Battle Elephants.\n\n- Within the
central citadel of Angkor resides Udayadityavarman I, surrounded by his personal
bodyguard (Yellow). They will provide a last line of resistance, should Angkor's
defenses fail."

strengths and weaknesses. Monks are strong against elephant units but weak against
Light Cavalry, for example."
113053 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The armies of Suryavarman I (Cyan and Green)
control the Khmer capital of Angkor and a few minor towns to the west. They are
faced with rebellion from multiple directions:\n\n- The Northern Rebels (Red) hold
several towns in the north of the map, and threaten Angkor with an army primarily
composed of Crossbowmen, Light Cavalry, and Mangonels.\n\n- The Eastern Rebels
(Orange) control the rugged eastern portion of the map, employing a force of
elephants, Scorpions, and Monks.\n\n- Jayaviravarman's Army (Yellow) holds a
cluster of towns straddling the southern reaches of the Mekong River. Droves of
infantry units pour north towards Suryavarman's lands.\n\n- Jayaviravarman (Purple)

Standard difficulty, you will each be given a Monk to accompany your forces. On
Moderate and Hard, you will have to make do without them."
113103 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Suryavarman's diplomatic convoy (Cyan and Green)
begins its journey on the western fringe of the Khmer Empire (Yellow). Beyond lies
a forbidding combination of dense jungle, treacherous mountain ranges, and
meandering waterways.\n\n- In the far west lies the convoy's destination, a small
port (Green) on the Andaman Sea. From here a ship can be chartered to bring the
convoy to the Chola lands in southern India.\n\n- Knifing through the middle of the
map is the fabled Chao Phraya River. Although finding a means of safely crossing it
can be difficult at this time of year, the ports (Grey) operating along its eastern
bank may be of assistance.\n\n- Scattered around the map are countless bands of

before the use of firearms, so you cannot train gunpowder units aside from siege
ships.\n\n2. The Tambralingas control a pair of bases in Khmer lands. Once those
are dealt with, the entire northeastern landmass will be under Khmer control.\n\n3.
The majority of the battles in this scenario will be fought at sea. Invest heavily
in a navy and use Cannon Galleons to bombard coastal settlements.\n\n4. Conquering
the central islands will give you access to numerous mineral resources (gold and
stone) as well as a springboard from which to take control of the water.\n\n5.
Communicate with each other - without aid, the Chola fortress will not hold out
forever."
113153 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Khmer army (Cyan) is stationed in the
southern, coastal portion of the Khmer Empire, preparing for the impending conflict
in the Gulf of Thailand. It should be capable of dealing with any initial land-
based threats, but the Khmer fleet does not yet match that of its Tambralinga and
Srivijaya rivals.\n\n- The Cholas (Green), allies of the Khmer, have conducted an
impressive amphibious assault of the Kingdom of Tambralinga, seizing a powerful
coastal fortress and establishing a foothold on the Malay Peninsula. Their army is
formidable, but will require aid to survive the Tambralinga and Srivijaya
onslaught.\n\n- The Tambralingas (Orange) recently suffered a defeat at the hands
of the Chola arrivals, but are far from broken, having struck out and established a
military base to the northwest of the Khmer lands. Their light infantry and
Skirmishers will harass their enemies by land, while their navy will attempt to
keep the Khmer and Chola forces divided.\n\n- The Srivijaya (Blue) command a vast
thalassocratic empire from their power base in the south of the map. Droves of
Battle Elephants, Two-Handed Swordsmen, Crossbowmen, and Onagers will provide a
staunch resistance to any land-based incursions, while their fabled navy has
hitherto ruled the seas with an iron fist."

impossible to launch and maintain hulking siege ships.\n\n3. Although the majority
of the combat in this scenario will be land-based, control of the water can be used
to deadly effect.\n\n4. Most of the map will soon become a battleground. The
southern portion, however, is a relatively safe area to build your economy.\n\n5.
Mineral resources are somewhat scarce. Fortunately, you can rely on the recently-
defeated Srivijaya for supplementary tributes."
113203 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Suryavarman I and his armies (Cyan and Green)
control the heart of the Khmer Empire, based primarily in the center and south of

the form of invaders and rebels alike.\n\n- The Hariphunchai (Red) hold two
citadels to the northwest, and field an army composed almost entirely of light
horsemen.\n\n- The Lavo Kingdom (Blue) is based in a mountain fortress in the far
west of the map. Their forces consist of infantry, Skirmishers, and Monks.\n\n- The
Northern Cham (Grey) control the coastal town of Indrapura to the northeast. Rattan
Archers, Battle Elephants, and Halberdiers comprise their land forces, but they
will also build a small navy.\n\n- The Southern Cham (Purple) are based in a set of
bastions on the eastern coastline. Their army of light infantry and Crossbowmen is
complemented by a large navy.\n\n- The Khmer Rebels (Orange) have seized two
military bases guarding important river crossings north of the Khmer Empire. Their
military consists primarily of swordsmen, ballistae, and elephants.\n\n- The Dai
Viet (Yellow) hold a fortress to the far north, watching the conflict to the south
with much interest. Perhaps their army of cavalry and javelineers can be persuaded
to attack some of Suryavarman's enemies..."

White Horde to fish in the Aral Sea, however.\n\n3. Do not hesitate to use
Tamerlane in battle. If he falls, he will return to his castle (provided that it
remains standing) to recover from his wounds and return to the field again once he
is ready.\n\n4. Resources are scattered thinly across the open steppe. As you
expand to harvest them, you may also encounter local warriors willing to join your

Horde and thus become much stronger."
113803 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The forces of Tamerlane (Purple) command the
fortified city of Samarkand. Its walls will provide safety early on, but you will
soon have to expand north to acquire additional resources.\n\n- Tokhtamysh Khan
(Yellow), a rival claimant to the lordship of the White Horde, holds a camp between
the Oxus and Jaxartes Rivers in the center of the map. His forces are few, but
given the proper support he could prove to be a powerful ally.\n\n- To the west is
the White Horde (Cyan), whose leader, Urus Khan (Orange), resides in a fortress
near the Aral Sea. Droves of Cavalry Archers, Light Cavalry, and Spearmen roam the
steppes between the Sary Su and the Ulutau.\n\n- The holdings of the Blue Horde
(Blue) lie to the northwest. Though initially the most vulnerable of your
opponents, they will field armies of Knights, Camel Riders, and Skirmishers if not
properly checked.\n\n- The Western Chagatai Khanate (Red) controls a citadel in the
north on the shores of Lake Balkhash. Behind their walls lurk a plethora of Cavalry
Archers, Camel Riders, and Spearmen.\n\n- The Eastern Chagatai Khanate (Green)

Monks are an excellent counter to War Elephants."
113853 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Tamerlane's army (Purple) has descended upon the
rich land of Persia, supported by the forces of Tokhtamysh (Yellow), who camps to
the north. Persia is divided among several squabbling factions:\n\n- The Sarbadars,
based in the city of Sabzevar (Grey) have pledged themselves to Tamerlane's cause.
Their forces are few initially, but can grow considerably given time.\n\n- The
Kartids rule the city of Herat (Blue) in the east of the map. Owing to their Turkic
origins, they field an army composed of Light Cavalry and Cavalry Archers.\n\n- The
Mihrabanids control the city of Zaranj (Green) to the southeast. Their army
consists primarily of Camel Riders and War Elephants.\n\n- The Muzaffarids have
their seat in the great city of Isfahan (Cyan). They levy an army of swordsmen and
Skirmishers urged on by devout clerics.\n\n- The Chobanid city of Soltaniyeh (Red)
lies near the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. They employ several Crossbowmen,
while their Tatar elites surround themselves with bodyguards of Keshiks.\n\n- The
Jalayirid city of Tabriz lies far to the west, and is known for its Cavalry
Archers, Pikemen, and Mangonels."

113902 "1. Tamerlane's forces (Purple) and his Volga Bulgar allies (Cyan) cannot
advance past the Castle Age or muster a population larger than 150. Utilize the
durability of your horsemen and the looting abilities of Keshiks to compensate for
this.\n\n2. Farming and building Docks or ships is impossible in the midst of the
harsh Russian winter. Look for other ways to feed your army.\n\n3. Ryazan is
renowned for its siege engineers. Perhaps your soldiers will be able to locate
plans for advanced siege equipment there.\n\n4. Your enemies rely on supply stores
scattered around the map. Destroying these will allow you to claim the provisions
for your own.\n\n5. A secondary Timurid army is marching through the Caucasus to
reinforce Tamerlane. Take advantage of its arrival to catch your enemies in a
pincer movement."

itself on the eastern bank of the icy Kondurcha River. Facing them on the opposite
side is Tokhtamysh's army of Light Cavalry, Cavalry Archers, and Russian infantry.\
n\n- Recently subjugated by Tamerlane, the Volga Bulgars (Cyan) camp to the far
north.\n\n- To the northwest lies the Russian city of Ryazan (Grey), a dependency
of Tokhtamysh. Its army consists mostly of Light Cavalry and Skirmishers led by the
local Boyars.\n\n- The city of Astrakhan (Orange) lies to the southeast where the
Volga meets the Caspian Sea. Its army initially consists of Keshiks and Pikemen,
but will eventually field Kipchak cavalry and swordsmen.\n\n- Tokhtamysh's capital
of Sarai is located in the center of the map. Sarai relies on an army of Mangudai
and Light Cavalry, but may add siege engines to the mix as well.\n\n- To the
southwest, where the Don River flows into the Black Sea, is the city of Azov
(Green). Azov is defended by Boyars and swordsmen, but will deploy Pikemen to
counter the Timurid cavalry forces.\n\n- Across the river from Azov is a colony of
Venetian and Genoese merchants (Blue) that supplies the enemy forces. Destroying it
would be quite a blow to their war effort.\n\n- The Golden Horde (Yellow) has camps
in the west and east of the map. Though initially loyal to Tokhtamysh, its leaders
may be persuaded to turn against him given the proper set of circumstances."

will determine the course of the initial battle. Use the speed of your Light
Cavalry to flank the enemy and target their vulnerable ranged units.\n\n4. The
mountains and forests in the south and west of the map are abundant with resources,
while the plains surrounding Delhi are an ideal location for additional military
buildings.\n\n5. Outlying villages and Monasteries are providing the garrison in
Delhi with supplies. Eliminating them would be wise."
113953 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Operating out of several military camps,
Tamerlane's armies (Purple and Red) has begun their siege of Delhi and have arrayed
themselves on the plains outside of the city in anticipation of a battle.\n\n- The
army of Shah Tughluq (Orange) stands between Tamerlane and Delhi. Shah Tughluq's
forces consist of camelry, infantry, Skirmishers, Light Cavalry, and elephants.\n\
n- In the north lies the fortified city of Delhi (Grey). Its garrison (Green) will
field armies of camelry, Skirmishers, swordsmen, and elephants in an effort to slow
the Timurid advance.\n\n- Outlying Indian villages and monasteries (Cyan, Blue)
support the defense of Delhi by sending supplies to the city. Plundering these will
help the Timurid cause considerably."
113954 "<RED>Timurid Rider: The Indian merchants had much gold stored in this
dock!"
113955 "<RED>Timurid Rider: We can use the resources that the villagers had stored
here!"
113956 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Inspired by our piety, Ghazi troops have arrived from
the west to join us!"
113957 "<RED>Timurid Rider: We have destroyed one of Delhi's castles! Four more
still stand."
113958 "<RED>Timurid Rider: We have destroyed a second enemy castle! Three remain."
113959 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Three of Delhi's castles lie in ruins! Only two still
stand!"
113960 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Four of Delhi's castles have fallen. One more and the
city will be ours!"

114002 "1. Tamerlane's forces (Purple and Red) can support a population of 150
each.\n\n2. One of your armies begins with a small village. The other must use
Monks to convert Villagers from your enemies, our scour the surrounding area for
friendly Villagers (Gaia).\n\n3. Strike early while many of your adversaries are
still weak and unprepared.\n\n4. There are only a handful of mineral deposits on
the map. You can acquire additional gold by raiding trading posts, sacking enemy
towns, or collecting Relics.\n\n5. Your enemies are heavily dependent on trade for
their gold income. Harass their trade routes or, better yet, shut them down
entirely."
114003 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Tamerlane's main army (Purple) has camped in the
north of the map near the Black Sea. The local fishermen will feed the army for a
short time, but expanding early is imperative. Another Timurid army (Red) has
seized a local Turkoman village.\n\n- Directly to the southeast is Georgia (Grey),
a mere shadow of its former glory. Their ill-equipped army is no match for
Tamerlane's horde.\n\n- The east of the map is controlled by the city of Baghdad
(Orange), an enormously wealthy prize defended by camelry and Crossbowmen.\n\n- Far
to the west lies the domain of Cilician Armenia (Blue). Their army of swordsmen and
Light Cavalry is led by a core of Composite Bowmen.\n\n- Just east of Cilician
Armenia is the city of Aleppo (Yellow). Aleppo's army of Spearmen and Monks should
be little more than a nuisance to Tamerlane.\n\n- The city of Damascus (Cyan) lies
in the southwest. Their army of camelry and Cavalry Archers may pose a threat
initially, but without trade they are helpless.\n\n- The Mamluk Sultanate (Green)
is your most dangerous foe. Their military base protects and supplies Damascus from
the south, and they will meet Tamerlane's horde with an army of Mamelukes, Light
Cavalry, and Siege Onagers."
114004 "<GREY>Georgians: Tamerlane's horde has destroyed one of our trading posts!"
114005 "<GREY>Georgians: How will we catch fish to trade without our dock on Lake
Van?"
114006 "<GREY>Georgians: No, not our precious market! Take this gold, please, and
go elsewhere!"
114007 "<GREY>Georgians: Tamerlane has descended upon Van and hurled the
inhabitants from the crags! Pray for the fallen!"
114008 "<RED>Timurid Rider: The Georgians fell to us like leaves before the
approaching winter, Amir."
114009 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Cilician Armenia shall fade into obscurity, my lord."
114010 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Aleppo lies beneath our heel! Our path to Anatolia is
now open."
114011 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Hah! The foolish Mamluks did nothing to protect their
prized city of Damascus."
114012 "<RED>Timurid Rider: It would seem that the people of Baghdad repeatedly
fail to learn that resistance is futile."
114013 "<RED>Timurid Rider: A glorious triumph! The Mamluks will not be eager to
challenge us again!"
114014 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Dismayed by the slaughter, enemy envoys hasten in vain
to offer us gold in exchange for leaving their lands!"
114015 "<RED>Timurid Rider: As the air fills with smoke, local dignitaries flock to
us with the false hope of trading their gold for their lives!"

us, provided we can defend them."
114017 "+ <Variable 255>/10,000 gold accumulated."

114051 "The Timurid Army"


114052 "1. Tamerlane's forces (Purple and Red) can support a population of 150
each.\n\n2. Your ability to parry Bayezid's assault hinges on how well you manage
to weaken his army before the battle begins. Destroying outlying enemy camps and
winning over auxiliary troops will increase your chances of victory.\n\n3. Avoid
enemy power centers at all costs before you have fought off Bayezid's attack. Focus
on raiding supply camps and convincing the Turkish auxiliaries to desert instead.\
n\n4. Tamerlane has brought a large supply of gold with him, but it will not last
forever. Quickly build up an economy and seek out new sources of income to finance
your army.\n\n5. Gunpowder units are powerful. Beware those of the enemy, but use
your own to your advantage."
114053 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Tamerlane's forces (Purple and Red) have arrived
in Anatolia, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, and must hurry to establish a camp.\
n\n- Tamerlane's main adversary, the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid (Cyan), has marched his
forces to the center of the map and camped there. When Bayezid launches his attack,
be prepared to face Janissaries, Hussars, and Bombard Cannons.\n\n- Assisting
Bayezid's army are several companies of auxiliary troops (Green), some of whose
loyalties are dubious. The Sipahis of the Anatolian Beyliks field Cavalry Archers
and Heavy Camel Riders, the Qara Tatars control a force of Tarkans and Camel
Archers, the Wallachians bring Pikemen and Skirmishers, and the Balkan auxiliaries
are comprised of Champions and Crossbowmen.\n\n- The Ottoman Empire (Blue) controls
several minor supply camps scattered around the map, but operates mainly out of a
dangerous mountain fortress far to the south. Expect to face the finest troops that
the Ottomans can offer - Hussars, Janissaries, Cavalry Archers, swordsmen, and
Bombard Cannons.\n\n- The Knights Hospitaller (Orange) command the city of Smyrna
to the west. This military order musters an army of Crusader knights both mounted
and afoot supported by Skirmishers, Monks, and powerful Trebuchets.\n\n- Taherten,
a local Turkoman emir, rules the citadel of Erzincan (Yellow) in the east of the
map. His loyalties are unknown, but it is clear that he has large forces of cavalry
at his disposal."
114054 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Our spies report that the loyalty of the auxiliary
troops accompanying Bayezid is in question. We should visit their camps and see if
we can...pry them away from him."
114055 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Without this training ground, the Turks will field
fewer janissaries!"
114056 "<RED>Timurid Rider: The Turks will not be using these horses anytime soon!"
114057 "<RED>Timurid Rider: We have seized Turkish weapons and armor from this
blacksmith!"
114058 "<RED>Timurid Rider: The grain in these mills will feed our men now!"
114059 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Let us see Bayezid fire his cannon without this
gunpowder!"
114060 "<RED>Timurid Rider: The Turks will not be making use of the provisions
stored in this market!"
114061 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Bayezid's Serbian auxiliaries seem to have left some
caltrops here!"
114062 "<RED>Timurid Rider: We have captured some Ottoman siege engineers!"
114063 "<RED>Timurid Rider: Amir, Sultan Bayezid has fled the field and taken
refuge in his mountain fortress to the south."
114064 "<ORANGE>Hospitallers: We thank you for weakening the Turks for us, but it
really is past time you left our lands now."
114065 "<ORANGE>Hospitallers: You will try."
114066 "<ORANGE>Hospitallers: Our great stronghold lies a smoking ruin! Flee, flee,
before the Tatars kill us all!"
114067 "<RED>Timurid Rider: A renegade has informed us that Smyrna depends on
shipments from Europe for wood and gold."
114068 "<RED>Timurid Rider: If we destroy the outer defenses of its harbor, the
rubble will fall into the sea, causing supply ships to be dashed to pieces on the
rocks!"
114069 "<RED>Timurid Rider: The merchants supplying this city will meet a foul end
on these sharp rocks!"

109450 "Tours"
109451 "Charles Martel"
109452 "1. The Franks are each restricted to a maximum population of 100. Neither
Tours nor Charles Martel are initially aware of each other's position. Charles
Martel must hurry to reach Tours before it falls!\n\n2. The Berbers and Moors
utilize inexpensive troops in combat. While Frankish Knights can defeat them, the
Muslims spend fewer of their resources fielding armies.\n\n3. You can click on
signs for directions.\n\n4. The Muslims are attacking outlying Frankish Farms. This
will slow them down while Charles Martel and his army march towards Tours."
109453 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Franks (Red) defend the besieged city of Tours
to the north. Charles Martel’s army (Blue) is to the south, marching to relieve the
city. Martel's scouts have not been able to reach Tours, so neither are aware of
each other's situation.\n\n- The Berbers (Yellow) occupy the western edge of the
map. They train Light Cavalry, Genitours, swordsmen, and rams, but their camp is
not well defended and could fall to an early attack.\n\n- The Moors (Green) have
occupied the city of Poitiers to the southwest, making their army harder to defeat.
They train Camels, Knights, and Scorpions, but will switch to Mamelukes given
enough time."
109454 "+ Protect the 3 Town Centers inside the city of Tours."
109455 "+ Capture the Moor's baggage train and bring it to the cathedral."

109551 "Saxon Army"
109552 "1. Duke William (Blue) and Alan Rufus (Green) are both restricted to
population limits of 115 and have no access to Trebuchets on certain difficulty
levels.\n\n2. The Isle of Wight, along England's southern shore, is a safe staging
ground for your invasion.\n\n3 While you prepare your army to invade England, be
watchful of Saxon attacks into Normandy."
109553 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Normans (Blue and Green) have two large towns
established in France. Their lands should be free of enemy marauders, but Harold's
Raiders (Yellow) could attack at any moment.\n\n- The Saxon Navy (Red) will try to
repel any Norman Transport Ships or warships that threaten Harold's Army (Orange).
You can try to destroy the Saxon Navy's shipyards to the north and south before
laying siege to Harold the Saxon's Castle near London.\n\n- The Vikings under
Harald Hardrada (Cyan) are a wildcard. They are at war with Harold the Saxon, but
can they be trusted?"
109554 "<ORANGE>Harold the Saxon advanced to the Imperial Age."
109555 "- You can ally with Harald Hardrada and get Viking support. To do so both
players must change their diplomatic stance to Harald (Cyan) to ally."
109556 "- Ally with Harald Hardrada"

110001 "Kabars"
110002 "1. The Magyars and Kabars can each support a population limit of 50 when
nomadic and 125 when sedentary. There are other restrictions as well (unique to
this scenario), since they are a nomadic people. For example, the Castle Age
research will only become available once the Avars are defeated, and the Imperial
Age research will only become available once one of the other main factions—Great
Moravia, East Francia, or the Bulgarians—is defeated.\n\n2. The Magyars and Kabars
gain resources from looting enemy buildings and sending captured animals to their
pens. They also capture enemy Villagers when they destroy an enemy Town Center.\n\
n3. Think carefully about when you want to build your Town Center. Each player will
lose the benefits of the nomadic way of life when they settle down, and the
conversion to a sedentary lifestyle will be slow. However, it will be difficult to
hold on to nomadism for the entire game.\n\n4. You cannot train new villagers while
nomadic.\n\n5. The enemy will not sit idle while you raid, so keep them on their
toes and harass their economies to keep them weak.\n\n6. The Bulgarians are a
tempting target for raids, so you could consider opening hostilities and attacking
their lands. Just be careful to not take on too many enemies at once."
110003 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Magyars (Cyan) and Kabars (Blue) have left
their old homeland on the steppe in exchange for the rich pastures of the
Carpathian Basin in Eastern Europe. They rely on livestock and raiding to fuel
their expansion; if that ceases, the only way to survive will be to become like the
Europeans and build Town Centers, Houses, Castles, and Farms.\n\n- The Avars
(Orange) reside next to the Magyars. Once a powerful nomadic people themselves,
they are now scattered and weak. It is advisable to raid and pillage their camps in
order to grow stronger. Their army consists of Cavalry Archers, Scout Cavalry, and
Tarkans.\n\n- To the north, Great Moravia (Yellow) dominated Bohemia and its
surounding lands for centuries, but they too have become weak because of internal
conflicts and rivalries with their neighbours. They have a few Castles, but those
can be easily evaded. The Moravians train swordsmen and Pikemen, which are no match
for our mobile cavalry force.\n\n- East Francia (Red) lies to the west and is one
of the strongest powers in the region. Prevously part of the great Carolingian
Empire, they remain powerful even after its division and can field a powerful army
behind the strong fortifications that defend their lands. They will train
Crossbowmen, Skirmishers, heavy cavalry, Teutonic Knights, and Mangonels.\n\n- The
Bulgarians (Green) to the south have no quarrel with the Magyars and are on
friendly terms. However, that does not mean that they should be left in peace. They
have many fortified bases, but their villages are poorly defended. They will train
swordsmen, Light Cavalry, and Konniks.\n\n- There are rumors that the Byzantines
(Purple) have sent a delegation to these lands to seek allies in their war against
the Bulgarians. Their proposal may be of interest to the Magyars."
110004 "<PURPLE>Byzantine Commander: Our emperor is prepared to pay you 2,000 gold
if you declare war on the Bulgarians. On top of that, he will pay you 500 gold for
every Bulgarian fortification that you destroy."
110005 "- <Sheep>/20 Sheep in the Magyars' enclosure (Cyan)."
110006 "- <Sheep2>/20 Sheep in the Kabars' enclosure (Blue)."
110007 "– Warning: the Bulgarians will declare war on you if you build military
buildings in their territory! –"
110008 "- Defeat another enemy faction and build a Town Center to advance to the
Imperial Age."

110102 "1. Minamoto's forces can support a population of 150 each, but this battle
occurs long before the advent of gunpowder weapons.\n\n2. The roads in the region
around Kurikara are crawling with Taira troops. Taking the most direct route to the
city would be advisable.\n\n3. The Taira do not yet know that supplies have been
delivered to the city, but they will soon attack ferociously.\n\n4. The sea is of
great strategic importance, but the route out of the bay is blocked by dangerous
rocks...\n\n5. Having conscripted all of the locals into the army, the Taira are
unable to rebuild any buildings.\n\n6. Minamoto's main forces (Blue) and the Hojo
Clan (Yellow) have different strengths initially: the Hojo Clan's cavalry is
superior, while Minamoto has more advanced infantry and naval forces."
110103 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Minamoto no Yoritomo has sent a relief force (Blue
and Yellow) to aid the defenders of Kurikara (Purple), a walled city in the
northeast loyal to Minamoto and under the command of his cousin Yoshinaka.\n\n- The
Hojo Clan (Purple) has a city in the east under the sovereignty of their lord
Tokimasa, and also awaits your arrival.\n\n- Based in several camps scattered
across the center of the map, the Taira Army (Orange) will be your primary opponent
early on. They train Light Cavalry, Spearmen, and Crossbowmen, but may also field
Samurai.\n\n- The Taira Guards (Green) patrol the countryside with cohorts of
infantry, and their Villagers are feeding and supplying the Taira forces.\n\n-
Surrounded by a moat and heavily fortified, the Taira capital of Kyoto (Cyan) has
yet to be captured by an invading army. Should the walls be breached, legions of
Samurai, Halberdiers, and Cavalry Archers will rush to the defense.\n\n- The Taira
armies are commanded by fierce warlords and princes (Red), not the least of them
the statesman Taira no Koremori. Killing the princes commanding the Taira armies in
the field is vital to the success of your armies."
110104 "<YELLOW>Samurai: We are nearing the enemy capital of Kyoto. It is far too
well defended to attack before we have defeated the Taira armies in the field!"
110105 "– The Hojo supply cart has been destroyed! – "
110106 "– The Hojo will take over their base in the east as soon as Minamoto's
vanguard takes over Kurikara. –"

the palace to heal! –"
110108 "+ Bring the supply cart (Blue) and at least one soldier to Yoshinaka's

110109 "- Bring carts arriving from Kamakura to your palace in Kurikara to receive
1,000 gold per cart - 500 for each player."
110110 "+ Bring the supply cart (Yellow) and at least one soldier to Tokimasa's
palace (marked by the yellow flag)."
110111 "+ Minamoto's vanguard (Blue) must reach the palace in Kurikara."

110115 "– With no soldiers left to defend it, the cart will never make it safely to
Kurikara! –"
110116 "– With no soldiers left to defend it, the cart will never make it safely to
Hojo Tokimasa! – "

110201 "Osman's Followers"


110202 "1. The Ottomans (Red and Purple) are limited to a population of 150 each.
They are also surrounded by hostile factions on all sides and will have a difficult
time keeping all of their enemies at bay.\n\n2. The other Turkish factions might be
interested in forming an alliance with Osman. Choose wisely, since they are fierce
rivals of each other and you will only be able to choose one.\n\n3. The Turks have
a wide array of units available. Will you preserve your nomadic traditions and rely
on a mobile cavalry force, or will you upset the tribes and field a more innovative
army of Janissaries and other gunpowder units instead?\n\n4. Osman (Red) and his
followers (Purple) have different strengths initially: while Osman can already
field Cavaliers, his followers can already train Heavy Cavalry Archers."
110203 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Osman (Red) and his followers (Purple) initially
reside in the Rum Sultanate (Grey) to the east. The Sultanate has been overrun by
the Mongols, and so Osman must go west to claim the lands of his family.\n\n- The
Byzantine Empire (Blue) has several fortified cities to the northwest, which are
vulnerable now that the Empire is weak. The Byzantines defend their cities with a
force of Cataphracts, Pikemen, and Skirmishers. Rumor has it that the Byzantines
have hired Europeans from Iberia to fight for them.\n\n- There are three minor
Turkish factions in the region: Karesi to the west, Germiyan to the south, and
Candar to the east.\n\n- Karesi (Green) is the only Turkish faction with access to
the water, and will construct warships to contest the Byzantine supremacy at sea.
Their land force consists of Skirmishers, Cavalry Archers, Hussars, and siege
units. Later, they will replace their Skirmishers with Hand Cannoneers.\n\n-
Germiyan (Yellow) has a strong nomadic tradition and it is said that their horse
archers never miss their mark. They will field an army of Light Cavalry, Camel
Riders, and Cavalry Archers that they will use to launch regular raids on their
enemies.\n\n- Candar (Cyan) has adopted the use of heavy cavalry and fortifications
almost on par with those of the Europeans. Relying on their defenses, they will
take their time before engaging their enemies in the field. They will train an army
of swordsmen and heavy cavalry."

control the other half of the city. Kick them out! Their force consists of Knights,
Spearmen, Throwing Axemen, and some siege units.\n\n- To the north are the brutal
Burmese (Orange). They rely on Battle Elephants, swordsmen, Arambai, Scorpions, and
warships to defend their petty base.\n\n- East of the Burmese are the malicious
Malians (Purple). These desert dwellers have amassed a large army of Heavy Camels,
Elite Gbetos, Heavy Scorpions, and swordsmen. They will not stop your mighty army!\

Warriors, Skirmishers, Crossbowmen, and Mangonels are no threat to our mighty

Aztecs are the savage Saracens (Grey). Not only do they have Arbalesters, Elite

points for completing your objectives quickly!\n\n2. To defeat your enemies in this
scenario, you only have to destroy their Monasteries, their Castles, or their Town
Centers. Do not bother with the rest.\n\n3. If you defeat an enemy, you will
capture their resources and buildings. Use these extra resources to fuel your
attack on the next player.\n\n4. There are two paths to the Teuton Wonder. On each
path lie different enemies with their own strengths and weaknesses. Make sure to
use your own civilization's strengths to defeat each of them.\n\n5. Subotai’s
conquests are never finished! Try again to improve your score and challenge your
friends!"
73609 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Genghis Khan has sent you, his most trusted general
Subotai, to ride forth and bring other civilizations to their knees. Your advance
party (Green) has established itself on the near bank of a river. Go to their camp
to gain control of it.\n\n- The cunning Cumans (Yellow) control the far bank of the
river and block your way further east. Their Kipchaks and Steppe Lancers defend
their Castle. Destroy it quickly to gain access to your other enemies.\n\n- To the
north are the treacherous Tatars (Orange). Their Keshiks, Steppe Lancers, and a few
Cavalry Archers defend their walled city.\n\n- East of the Tatars are the shrewd
Saracens (Purple). Beware! These desert dwellers have amassed an army of Heavy
Camels, Mamelukes, and powerful Onagers – strong counters to your own Mongol
forces! \n\n- To the south are the scornful Slavs (Cyan). They command Boyars,
Champions, and a few Monks who may turn your own solders against you!\n\n- Next to
the Slavs are the malicious Magyars (Grey). They protect the shallows with a fleet
of Galleons and defend their Town Center with a horde of Magyar Huszars and
Cavaliers. If you do not destroy them quickly, they will upgrade their Cavaliers to
Paladins.\n\n- Finally, the terrible Teutons are entrenched on a cliff fortified
with Keeps and Castles. Their Teutonic Knights and Paladins are fully upgraded but
they, too, will fall before the might of the Mongol horde! Tear down their precious
Wonder brick by brick to show them your power!\n\n- Genghis Khan expects you to
conquer all of these enemies quickly, so do not delay!"

73658 "1. Your score will increase for every 5 seconds that you stay alive. The
longer that you keep your starting Town Center standing, the higher your final
score will be.\n\n2. Travelling to and hiring the Cuman mercenaries (or killing
them!) will give you bonus score, so it can pay off to venture outside of your
starting location.\n\n3. Barbarossa has access to all Imperial Age technologies and
his population is capped at 200.\n\n4. You will not be able to build any Stone
Walls in this scenario, so you must rely on Towers, Castles and the might of your
army to defend yourself."
73659 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Barbarossa's duchy (Red) is surrounded on all sides
by hostile duchies. Barbarossa will need to survive their combined attacks to stand
a chance of ruling the Holy Roman Empire. As Teutons, Barbarossa has access to an
exceptional Knight-line, well-armored infantry, and strong defensive buildings.\n\
n- Three of your enemies--Bavaria (Green), Saxony (Yellow) and Lorraine (Orange)--
are Teutons, much like Barbarossa's army. Expect them to utilize the same
civilization strengths as you do.\n\n- To the southeast is Austria (Blue), which is
a Gothic player. Their Huskarls may prove a tough match for your defenses.\n\n- The
Bohemians (Cyan) start off rather weak initially, but if left alone will grow into
a strong foe. As Slavs, expect them to utilize their cheap siege units, strong
infantry, and Boyars.\n\n- The Burgundians (Purple) are one of the weaker factions,
but once they build up, beware their strong Frankish cavalry.\n\n- To the east
towards Hungary, Cuman warriors (Grey) have been spotted."
73660 "You are surrounded on all sides by pretenders who are bent on ripping the
crown from your head. You must build up your defences quickly and hold them off for
as long as you can!"
73661 "<GREEN>The armies of Bavaria have been spotted marching out against you!"

you!"

will hold!"

attack you!"
73667 "<RED>Teutonic Soldier: I cannot believe my eyes, Your Majesty! We have
survived the impossible! From this day forth, let no one doubt who is the true
ruler of the Holy Roman Empire!"
73668 "<RED>Teutonic Soldier: Your Majesty, it appears that the pretenders have
overwhelmed us. Yet we have held out bravely against them, and there is more honor
in this defeat than in most victories! Let us feast tonight; tomorrow we march once
more to victory!"
73669 "Your enemies control six holy relics. If you could capture them, it would
strengthen your claim to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire!"
73670 "- Capture, and garrison in your Monasteries, the 6 Relics from the
surrounding German duchies."
73671 "+ Survive the onslaught as long as possible--up to 30 minutes, when the
timer runs out--and try to earn as many points as you can. You will lose when your
starting Town Center (marked by red flags) is destroyed."
73672 "\n\nYou are up against impossible odds. Your primary goal is not to defeat
your enemies, but rather to hold out for as long as possible. Prepare for a lengthy
siege and expect your enemies to be very aggressive as soon as the first attack
starts!"
73673 "\n\nThe longer that you stay alive, the higher your score will be, but there
are other ways of increasing your score as well. Check the Hints for more
information!"

68808 "1. You are restricted to the Castle Age and a starting population limit of
75. Every village you capture, however, increases your population limit by 5 up to
a total of 125 total population. Additionally, you are not allowed to build new
towers.\n\n2. Conquer villages by destroying the towers within them. Once a tower
is destroyed, one of your towers will replace the old one. Battle Elephants are
great for taking down enemy towers.\n\n3. Your technological level is lower than

available, but Mongol and Javanese equipment scattered around the map can
compensate for this.\n\n4. The Mongols cannot be trusted. Their ultimate goal is to
subdue all of Southeast Asia!\n\n5. The castle in Kediri relies on regular supplies
over land to train more soldiers. Blocking these supplies will help weaken their
defenses.\n\n6. The Karambit Warrior is weak, but only takes up half the population
of a regular unit and can be easily massed."

against his overlord Kediri and seeks to build a new kingdom in eastern Java.\n\n-
The Mongols (Green) sent diplomats in name of Kublai Khan to demand tribute from
the Indonesian kingdoms, but the Javanese humiliated their diplomats. A Mongol army
of Light Cavalry, Cavalry Archers, Mangudai and siege units has now arrived to
retaliate.\n\n- To the east is Singhasari (Blue), a formerly strong kingdom now
dominated by Kediri. They are aggressive and will attack with Crossbowmen, Cavalry
Archers, Battle Elephants, Long Swordsmen and Mangonels.\n\n- To the west lies a

does not have much time, so you must hurry to his rescue before the rebels can kill

Each of them can lead to a different path to reach the king, some are easier than
the others. Arya Tadah will help you breach the gates, direct him by using taunts.

northeast of the city. He has few assets initially, but can rely on the support of
the loyalists near the capital.\n\n- Directly to the north, the prime minister Arya
Tadah (Purple), has also arrived to help save the king and is awaiting Gajah's
support to commence the attack.\n\n- The Majapahit king, Jayanegara (Yellow), is
trapped within the city walls and is surrounded by hostile rebel forces. His royal
guards are staunch defenders, but eventually they will succumb to the rebels
attacks.\n\n- The city of Trowulan (Orange) has been occupied by rebels. The rebels
have assigned their strongest men to hold the walls against attacks from outside
the city. These defenders include Arbalesters, Champions, Battle Elephants,
Onagers, and Halberdiers. The rebel army under the command of Rakrian Kuti (Blue)
himself will be attacking the king. He has swordsmen, Karambit Warriors, Light
Cavalry, and Crossbowmen at his command.\n\n- Outside of the walls, the remaining
Majapahit Rebels (Cyan) guard the southern part of the city, making sure that
nobody can escape. They train Skirmishers, swordsmen, Light Cavalry, siege engines,

go on the offensive unless you attack them first or expand into their territory.
That is why instead of destroying them immediately you can choose to expand oversea
first."

island of Java, while Sunda (Yellow) controls the western half. They will not
attack us unless we provoke them but it might be in our interest to assert control
over the island before expanding to the other islands. Sunda will train Skirmishers
and Knights.\n\n- Our colonies (Cyan, Purple, Grey and Orange) will start
colonizing Bali, Sulawesi, and Borneo. These islands are to the east and north of
our island and are rich in resources.\n\n- West of Java, on the island of Sumatra,
lies the kingdom of Dharmasraya (Green). The kingdom wields a strong force of
Swordsmen, Crossbowmen, Ballista Elephants, Galleons, and Fire Ships. Dharmasraya
is the most likely to regularly attack us.\n\n- To the north lies Malaysia, part of
the Asian continent. Here the Tumasik (Blue) have broken free from their former
overlords and have built the mighty city of Singapore. They compete with us over
the control of the sparsely inhabited islands which we are trying to colonize. They

restricted to a population limit of 125. This also means it is very important to
expand quickly to other islands to take control of vital resources and precious
building space.\n\n2. Fish is probably the best way to get food in this region.
Doing this saves wood from building farms and that wood can instead be used for
building a navy. When fishing spots become depleted you can make use of the Malay's
unique fish trap bonus to get an endless supply of food that way.\n\n3. Your
enemies have a strong naval presence. Building fortifications on the islands can
help defend your bases and let you concentrate your ships in fewer locations.\n\n4.
Some enemies have Fortified Towers. The best way to deal with these large towers is
with several Cannon Galleons. Using other ships to distract the fire coming from
the towers is also a good way to prevent your Cannon Galleons from taking fire."
69109 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Majapahit navy (Cyan), or what is left of it
after a heavy storm, arrived north and made landfall on one of the islands.
Majapahit sailors (Red) have been ordered to look for a nearby village from where a
new fleet can be build.\n\n- To the east the Kutai (Blue) control many of the
smaller islands. They are mainly pirates and rely on small but fast ships. They
will also use rafts filled with gunpowder to take down larger vessels.\n\n- The
Makassar (Green) live on the other side of the eastern archipelago and southwest of
our location. They are well-fortified and better equipped then the Kutai. They
mainly rely on War Galleys and Fire Ships to deal with enemy vessels but also have
archers defending their shores. We definitely can expect them to try to raid us.\n\
n- Farther to the south are the Luwu (Yellow). The most technologically advanced of
the islanders, their island will be very difficult to take because of the Fortified
Towers defending it. They are also accustomed to using gunpowder so they will
deploy cannons on some of their vessels and towers."

The bandits in this region can be a real nuisance. Their raids will not stop until
their camps are destroyed.\n\n4. Sunda will be able to train more units using
Trowulan's infrastructure. We need to capture these buildings by capturing all the
banners (Blue Flags) in the capital.\n\n5. Gajah Mada does not allow his army to
use siege weapons against his own capital. If we want to break through the walls,
we will have to use elephants."
69209 "Your scouts report:\n\n- Gajah Mada's army (Red) is sitting in a small
fortress south of the capital waiting for news from its emissaries. The fortress is
small and has no additional resources so it will not be able to withstand many
attacks.\n\n- The Majaphait capital of Trowulan (Yellow) is directly north of our
position and is ruled by our king Hayam Wuruk. The king has his palace in the
eastern part of the city and is unaware of Gajah Mada's plans.\n\n- The Sunda
princes (Blue) in Trowulan are here for the royal wedding and are low in numbers
but since they are already in the city we will need to find a way in to get to
them.\n\n- Outside of the capital, to the west and north, are several Majapahit
villages (Purple) and army bases (Green). The first village and camp that you reach
will be yours to command, but the others will no longer offer their services.\n\n-
Because Gajah Mada has spent much of his time campaigning, the Javanese Bandits

of 200. This campaign, however, is set long before the use of firearms, so you
cannot train gunpowder units aside from siege ships.\n\n2. The Tambralingas control
a pair of bases in Khmer lands. Once those are dealt with, the entire northeastern
landmass will be under Khmer control.\n\n3. The majority of the battles in this
scenario will be fought at sea. Invest heavily in a navy and use Cannon Galleons to
bombard coastal settlements.\n\n4. Conquering the central islands will give you
access to numerous mineral resources (gold and stone) as well as a springboard from
which to take control of the water.\n\n5. Stay apprised of events occurring across
the sea - without aid, the Chola fortress will not hold out forever."
69609 "Your scouts report:\n\n- The Khmer army (Cyan) is stationed in the southern,
coastal portion of the Khmer Empire, preparing for the impending conflict in the
Gulf of Thailand. It should be capable of dealing with any initial land-based
threats, but the Khmer fleet does not yet match that of its Tambralinga and
Srivijaya rivals.\n\n- The Cholas (Green), allies of the Khmer, have conducted an
impressive amphibious assault of the Kingdom of Tambralinga, seizing a powerful
coastal fortress and establishing a foothold on the Malay Peninsula. Their
infantry, ranged units, and mounted forces make for an impressive army, but they
will require aid if they are to survive the Tambralinga and Srivijaya onslaught.\n\
n- The Tambralingas (Orange) recently suffered a defeat at the hands of the Chola
arrivals, but are far from broken, having struck out and established two military
bases to the northwest of the Khmer lands. Their light infantry and Skirmishers
will harass their enemies by land, while their navy will attempt to keep the Khmer
and Chola forces divided.\n\n- The Srivijaya (Blue) command a vast thalassocratic
empire from their power base in the south of the map. Droves of Battle Elephants,
Two-Handed Swordsmen, Crossbowmen, and Onagers will provide a staunch resistance to
any land-based incursions, while their fabled navy has hitherto ruled the seas with

Elephants, Hand Cannoneers, infantry, and warships.\n\n-The West Rakhine (Yellow)

however, they should free the local population (Green) from Chinese occupation.\n\

Losing one of the three bases is not the end of the world - as long as the

three different locations:\n\n- To the north, Le Trien, the champion of the
Vietnamese rebels, has orders to intercept Ming reinforcements arriving from
China.\n\n- To the east, Dinh Le, commander of the rebel cavalry, prepares to lay
siege to Nghe An.\n\n- To the west, the wise Bui Bi and master marksman Luu Nhan
Chu are to secure the rich rice fields, dealing with the Ai Lao people if necessary
and then perhaps attack Nghe An from the west.\n\n\n- The city of Nghe An (Cyan) is
situated to the south and is vital to the Ming dominance of the region. Its
defenders rely on its strong fortifications and have stored gunpowder in the city,
allowing them access to advanced units such as Bombard Cannons and Hand
Cannoneers.\n\n- General Wang Tong (Purple) has a camp to the northeast. He can
field an army of Cavaliers, Chu Ko Nu, Elite Skirmishers, and Halberdiers, but only
has limited resources and relies primarily on Ming reinforcements (Blue) from
China.\n\n- The people of Ai Lao (Green) are not directly involved in the conflict,
but they do have something to gain from the situation. If given the opporunity,
they will turn on Le Loi. They field an army of Battle Elephants and infantry."

// 01 - William Wallace

201101 "We are without a leader. The dead king of Scotland has no heir."
201102 "War creeps in from the south, where Edward Longshanks, the avaricious King
of England, has returned from successful campaigns in Wales and France. As
Longshanks turns his attention to Scotland, the shadow of fear settles across the
Highlands."
201103 "The English have thousands of Welsh longbowmen, hundreds of knights on
horseback, and dozens of siege weapons."
201104 "We Scottish have a rabble of untrained soldiers who do not even know how to
march in a straight line. We must act soon. If we are to have any chance of
resistance, we need to forge an army by any means necessary."
201151 "Scotland has soldiers now, if only a few. But if we are to turn back the
greed of Edward Longshanks, we will need many more recruits, and much more gold in
our coffers."
201152 "These ancient stones and oaks around us will soon be drenched with the
blood of clansmen."

201201 "An army marches on its stomach, or so the old saying goes. My clansmen have
been farming and tending sheep for hundreds of years...but gathering enough food to
feed an army is a different matter entirely."
201202 "Without a strong economy, the meager forces that we have cobbled together
will collapse again."
201251 "Edward Longshanks, for all his disrepute, has shown his military tactics in
Wales, England, and France to be very effective, if not cruel and ruthless. He is
indeed an enemy to be feared. The English sacked the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed.
With that I could call it a battle, but it was truly more of a massacre."
201252 "Unless we organize our army, there will be more massacres to follow. I pray
that we can be ready when Longshanks comes."

201301 "In villages throughout the Highlands, there is grim talk of skirmishes
between Scotland and England. We lost the town of Dunbar this week. Scottish
defenders broke ranks and fled. The English have an army that is larger and better
trained."
201302 "To compete with them, we are going to need new recruits to pick up spear,
sword, and bow. We must transform these shepherds into soldiers."
201351 "Now that we have militias stationed across the border, the English have
slowed their raids. But facing Longshanks' army will be another matter. The wicked
English king has yet to bring his famous longbows to bear."
201352 "Our militias can only get us so far. We are going to need more advanced
weapons."

201401 "Rumors creep in from the south of a giant who leads the forces of Scotland,
his great sword driving through earth, man, and horse alike. If this mythical
knight can stall the English advance, it will give us time to develop the arms we
need."
201402 "Even now our smiths are forging swords, and fletchers are crafting arrows
and crossbow bolts."
201451 "Longshanks has invaded, stormed, and sacked the city of Perth. Worse, he
has captured the fabled Stone of Scone and declared himself King of Scotland."
201452 "If we cannot bring about a victory in battle soon, the Scottish armies will
be too demoralized to put up any fight at all. If this mythical Scottish giant does
exist, I wish that he would bring his forces up to Stirling, where we shall next do
battle."

201501 "The time for minor skirmishes is over. We now prepare for war."
201502 "The villain, Longshanks, is poised to cross the River Forth and threaten
the town of Stirling with a force of men-at-arms, heavy cavalry, and a multitude of
archers."
201503 "Our newly forged army marches southward to establish our own base and
attack the English before they can ready their troops."
201551 "Stirling was our first great victory. Even as we held the coastline, word
arrived that Stirling Bridge had been held by a force of Scots led by the mythical
knight of whom so many have spoken."
201552 "Now we know his name: Sir William Wallace, the bane of the English."
201553 "Edward Longshanks names Wallace a traitor and a criminal. Sir William
replies that he cannot be a traitor, for he never swore fealty to an English king."
201554 "With Wallace leading our armies, the men fight with renewed vigor. Perhaps
the tide of our misfortunes is about to turn..."

201601 "Our coffers were depleted at the Battle of Stirling, so we need to


strengthen our economy once again before pushing south into lands held by the
English."
201602 "We need to construct a market and establish trade routes to the villages of
friendly clans."
201603 "Local legends speak of three sacred relics hidden south of Stirling.
Acquiring these artifacts for Wallace's army will be a great boost to Scottish
morale."
201651 "With the three relics locked away safely in Scottish churches, men murmur
that we are blessed by the heavens."
201652 "Our army now stands a chance as we prepare for the final clash with the
English. Scotland now has archers and knights of our own with which to meet
Longshanks."
201653 "We march south, to Falkirk, where we will join with the army of William
Wallace and plan our combined attack upon the English castle."

201701 "The only way that we can hold the boggy lowlands around Falkirk is to build
a castle and as many walls as we can construct in a short time."
201702 "These fortifications will serve to protect our camp as we construct siege
weapons with which to assault the English castle."
201703 "Once the castle is constructed, Wallace himself has sworn to join our
forces. Together we will attack Longshanks and his English troops."
201751 "It looked certain that we would be defeated at Falkirk. Yet somehow, though
outnumbered and outranged by English longbows, we were victorious."
201752 "The English castle was torn down, and a Scottish one shall be built in its
place."
201753 "William Wallace has shown us the path to victory. Although he is but one
man, he inspires great deeds in others. Many of the Scottish knights and lords have
drawn their swords with his."
201754 "Wallace's own sword is a five-and-a-half-foot beast, forged of course in
Scotland."
201755 "He has sworn not to rest until his sword finds the neck of Edward
Longshanks. The struggle will continue, but we have learned the ways of war. Now it
is the English who will know true fear."

// 02 - Joan of Arc

202101 "February 19, Army Camp near Vaucouleurs."


202102 "This morning I awoke to visions of fire and steel. These nightmares come
more often now that I have seen my beloved France eaten away by years of war."
202103 "I wandered through camp ignoring the new snowfall, but observing the wounds
and weariness of every soldier under my command. Observing the desperation in their
eyes."
202104 "It was then that I first saw the girl. She told us that her name was Joan.
She told us she was but a peasant, who did not know how to ride or fight. She told
us that she intended to rescue France. The darkness lifted from the men's souls."
202105 "Her voice rang with conviction, and we drank in her every word. I may have
lost my faith, but Joan has not lost hers, and that is enough for me."
202106 "Joan has asked our ragged band of soldiers to take her to Chinon, where the
rightful ruler of France, the dauphin, hides from his foes."
202107 "The war-torn land in between is infested with enemy marauders, and we will
lose many men. Death is by now an old companion, but for Joan, we will face it
again."
202151 "As Joan's footsteps echoed down the marbled hall of the château, the fat
and whispering dukes did naught but stare."
202152 "The dauphin himself seemed afraid as she kissed his feet. 'My gentle
dauphin,' she demanded, 'why does England claim what is ours? Why are you not
crowned King of France as is your right?'"
202153 "The courtiers began to murmur. The chamberlain whispered lies into the
dauphin's ear."
202154 "But the dauphin pushed the chamberlain away and rose to meet Joan's gaze."
202155 "She stands only to the shoulder of the shortest man, but all of us must
look up to speak to her."
202156 "I know not what silent conversation passed between the dauphin and his
would-be savior, but it was obvious that his Majesty was in the same thrall as we."

202201 "March 26, Chinon."


202202 "It is one thing for a band of dispirited soldiers to put their trust in a
teenage girl. It is entirely another for that girl to be given command of the army
of an entire nation."
202203 "We were filled with pride when we heard the dauphin's heralds pronounce
Joan the Maid as commander of the army of France."
202204 "So that she may look like a general, the dauphin presented Joan with a
great warhorse and a suit of white armor."
202205 "Joan instructed me to look for an ancient sword buried beneath the altar of
a local church."
202206 "I was skeptical, but not only did the men unearth a rusted blade, but we
found that the sword had belonged to Charlemagne, grandfather of France. I shall
not doubt her word again. Still visible on the hilt was the fleur-de-lis."
202207 "Joan adopted the fleur-de-lis as her symbol and had it blazoned upon her
battle standard. Wherever Joan goes, the standard goes also. It goes with us to
Orléans."
202208 "The city of Orléans is one of the finest in France, but it is under siege
by our enemies, England and Burgundy, and is about to fall."
202209 "This war has dragged on for one hundred years with precious few French
victories. The people of Orléans need a savior. They will receive Joan of Arc."
202251 "Joan prophesied that she would be wounded at Orléans. At the height of the
battle, an arbalest bolt knocked her from her horse. We could not believe our
misfortune."
202252 "But as we carried Joan away from the carnage, the battle was won. Orléans
was free."
202253 "When we entered the city, the entire population cheered us on from windows,
rooftops, and city streets."
202254 "They fired artillery into the night sky and shouted aloud their nickname
for Joan: 'La Pucelle'-The Maid of Orléans."

202301 "June 14, Orléans."


202302 "Our rescue of Orléans was a setback for our enemies, but only a minor one.
The English still possess half of France."
202303 "Tragically, we have cooled our heels for weeks while the dauphin's advisors
debate."
202304 "Joan became irritated with the delay and reassembled her army. She talks of
nothing but her mission to drive the English into the sea."
202305 "The force of Joan's will is titanic. She has gathered to her banner
swearing brigands and knaves and turned them into patriots and heroes."
202306 "Among them is the man La Hire. A giant clad in plate mail; he drives men on
with curses and fists. There will be plenty of English necks for La Hire to break
at Patay."
202307 "Patay is the gateway to the Loire River Valley. The English hold the Loire
in a grip of steel, whilst a huge army under Sir John Fastolf devastates the
countryside."
202308 "Joan leads us to Patay to capture the English castles. However, we must
avoid Fastolf's army until we are strong enough to face his veterans."
202351 "After Patay, the myth of English invulnerability was dispelled. Now our
army knows it is possible to win, but only if we are resolute and cunning."
202352 "The English are a most deadly enemy, and their longbowmen have decimated a
charge of French knights time and time again."
202353 "To make matters worse, we now face enemies on both sides. The dauphin's
advisors spend more and more time wrangling, jealous of Joan's influence at court."
202354 "I pray that Joan can complete her divine mission before the dauphin's
envious advisors betray her."

202401 "June 25, Orléans."


202402 "Dead France is returning to life. Our army swells with new recruits. In
olden times, men swore fealty only to their particular lord."
202403 "Now we fight not for insolent lords and ladies, but for France. For all of
us, Joan is France. There is no distinction in our minds."
202404 "The dauphin himself has arrived in Orléans. Never have I seen such a
celebration. France needs a king, so we must escort the dauphin to Rheims where he
can be properly crowned."
202405 "Yet, the city of Rheims is dangerously menaced by the Anglo-Burgundian
army. The cities of Troyes and Chalons also bar the way."
202406 "Joan commands that we must liberate all three cities before the coronation,
and we eagerly seek to fight."
202451 "As we rode into Rheims, a sea of peasants and lords knelt before Joan. Some
even knelt to kiss her horse's hoofprints. Cannon thundered and a thousand flags
danced in the breeze."
202452 "In the enormous palace, the dauphin knelt before the archbishop and rose as
King of France. Prayers, anthems, and sermons filled the great château."
202453 "Interspersed among perfumed dukes and ladies were tattered soldiers from
our army, many still bearing wounds."
202454 "Joan herself was at the king's side, as was her bedraggled battle
standard."
202455 "Despite the celebration, I know in my heart that this war is far from over.
Our fathers and grandfathers died fighting the English."
202456 "Joan gives us hope, but I do not know if hope is enough to ensure victory."

202501 "September 3, Rheims."


202502 "France has a king once more. However, as Joan gains influence with the
people, jealousy grows within the court."
202503 "The king's evil advisors now seek to destroy Joan. It is only a matter of
time before they succeed in poisoning the king's mind."
202504 "Joan must hurry to fulfill her mission. Paris, the jewel of France, has
been under English tyranny for decades, and French patriots trapped within the city
are eager to escape. We are now marching on Paris, hoping that the reinforcements
we have been promised will arrive in time."
202551 "Tragedy. As the refugees fled into the château of Compiègne, Joan was
trapped outside. Burgundian soldiers knocked her from her horse and paraded around
with their prisoner."
202552 "None of us can sleep, knowing our precious Joan of Arc languishes in a
Burgundian prison."
202553 "The soldiers stare at the uncaring sky, condemning themselves for being
unable to save her...for being unable to save France."
202554 "Paris was the first major defeat ever dealt to our army. Had the king sent
the promised reinforcements, we would have captured the city. Now, it is France's
darkest hour."

202601 "July 14, Bordeaux."


202602 "No Joan of Arc. A rich world made empty and poor! The English put her on
trial as a heretic. Joan's mind was as sharp as her sword, and she avoided all the
cunning verbal traps of her prosecutors."
202603 "In the end, Joan would not renounce her mission. The English found her
guilty..."
202604 "...and burned her at the stake."
202605 "But her death is not in vain. 'La Pucelle' is the rallying cry as peasant
and nobleman alike take arms. My army is an army of the people, and even without
the king we are poised to strike at the English stronghold of Castillon."
202606 "A victory at Castillon will crush the English pretensions in France
forever."
202607 "Should I die in this battle, I die for the Maid of Orléans. I die as a
patriot of France."
202651 "A century of English toil, blood, and victories was reversed in a little
over a year by a teenage girl. The Hundred Years' War has ended."
202652 "Even more importantly, Joan's acts ignited a sense of French nationalism.
Peasants and nobles alike no longer belong to lords and kings, but to France
herself."
202653 "We will not let Joan be forgotten. Already, statues and stained glass
portraits have been commissioned in hundreds of towns and cities throughout
France."
202654 "Her verdict of guilt was rightfully reversed, and I expect that Joan of Arc
will soon be beatified as a saint."
202655 "Sometimes the outcome of history is determined by strength of arms, other
times by happenstance."
202656 "But in fifteenth century France, history was determined by the will of a
young girl..."
202657 "...the only person in history to command the armies of an entire nation at
the age of seventeen."

// 03 - Saladin

203101 "Egypt. A month since I entered the Holy Land..."


203102 "I was in a foreign land. And I was dying."
203103 "I wandered the cold desert for four nights before the horse archers found
me. I had abandoned my mount to the vultures and my armor to the heat of day. For a
knight, I was not much of a threat to them."
203104 "I thought these men were Turks, come to toy with their prey. But when I
could distinguish the riders from the blur of the mirage I saw that they were
Saracens, the rulers of the Middle East. I had ridden to the Holy Land with the
Crusaders from France and Normandy, so I was by all rights the Saracens' enemy."
203105 "Yet they gave me water and a spindly horse and led me back to their
leader."
203106 "And that was how I met Saladin. The paintings in Europe show Saladin as a
demonic barbarian. Yet he is more chivalrous than any knight I'd met before, and
prefers the palaces of Damascus to slaughtering Normans in the desert. I had not
expected hospitality from Saracens...we Normans execute any armed Arab we capture."
203107 "But Saladin left me free to explore his camp. Perhaps he wants an objective
observer to chronicle the prodigious bloodshed ahead."
203108 "Saladin's army is heading south to Egypt to reinforce Cairo. Egypt is a
tempting prize for the Crusaders. She is fabulously wealthy, yet governed by an
ineffectual fool. Before my capture, I was en route to join in the Crusaders'
assault on Egypt."
203109 "It is a bitter irony that now I shall view the contest from the enemy camp.
So it was that I found myself less than a hundred miles from the Dead Sea, in the
company of my enemies."
203151 "The Franks are dispersed, and the Egyptian army broken. Saladin has taken
his place as governor of the Nile. Any European king would seize this opportunity
to eliminate his political enemies. Saladin however, allowed any Egyptian opposed
to his rule to leave the city unharmed."
203152 "Saladin has set out to win over the population. In Cairo, he built mosques
and palaces, universities and hospitals. My own countrymen, the sons of Europe,
showed naught but treachery, while the Saracens work to dignify their civilization.
It is a troubling turn of events and I have difficulty sleeping."

203201 "The Holy City of Medina. Year fifteen of my capture..."


203202 "Volumes have I filled with my fatigued writings. Lord Saladin reads them
only rarely. He speaks of greater events yet to come."
203203 "The political boundaries in this endless desert have shifted as a result of
three Crusades. Four Crusader states now exist in the Holy Land."
203204 "After the Saracen victory in Egypt, the Crusader leaders realized that
Saladin was worthy of their concern. They were quick to suggest a treaty."
203205 "I hoped that with peace at last upon us, I would be returned to my own
folk, but this peace, so short-lived, is already broken."
203206 "And it is not Saracen, but Crusader that has violated his word of honor.
Reynald de Chatillon, a wicked French knight, has been raiding Arab territory in
defiance of the treaty."
203207 "He attacks trade caravans, and his pirate ships threaten the Saracen holy
cities of Medina and Mecca. Saladin, in his fury, has sworn to kill Reynald with
his own hands."
203251 "Although I am still prisoner, Saladin and his generals dine with me. Over
meals we discuss mathematics and astronomy. I never imagined a race of desert folk
could be so wise."
203252 "Baghdad, the Saracen capital, is the most civilized city in the world, with
free hospitals, public baths, a postal service, and banks with branches as far away
as China."
203253 "But as we eat, talk inevitably turns to war. Reynald's pirate vessels now
rot at the bottom of the Red Sea. His raids have stopped. Reynald has escaped, but
I suspect Saladin shall neither forgive nor forget."

203301 "Galilee. Year twenty of my capture..."


203302 "Last night we rode into a sandstorm. The men dared not open their mouths to
speak. We clung to the necks of horses or camels while waves of sand rose and fell
around us."
203303 "The Saracens have pursued a large force of Europeans into the desert. The
Crusaders carry with them a relic - a piece of the True Cross. Capturing this
artifact will deal a severe blow to the morale of Saladin's Christian foes."
203304 "I asked Saladin why we were here, miles from civilization and water. He
said 'to bring crimson death to the blue-eyed enemy.'"
203305 "The huge Crusader army has halted to make its stand beneath the two peaks
called the Horns of Hattin. At the Horns is only a single pool of water, and
Saladin controls it."
203306 "At night, the Saracens ride out and extravagantly pour out vessels of water
into the sand within sight of the thirst-crazed Europeans. It is cruelty worthy of
a...Crusader."
203351 "The fighting was fierce - the Crusaders had to conquer or die. Mostly, they
died."
203352 "Saladin has treated his prisoners well, providing them with ice water from
the mountains and comfortable tents. For the first time in years, I have been able
to speak to fellow countrymen. But I am unsure what to say to these...invaders."
203353 "Not all of the prisoners were treated so royally. Reynald de Chatillon was
captured here and, fulfilling his vow, Saladin sliced off Reynald's head with his
own scimitar. How ironic that it was only after the Crusaders entered their lands
that the Saracens were transformed into the people that we set out to destroy."

203401 "Jerusalem. Twenty years have I been with the Saracens..."


203402 "Saladin's target is Jerusalem. The great, ancient city is sacred to
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and is the virtual capital of the Holy Land. If
there can be a victor in this endless conflict, it will be the army that holds
Jerusalem."
203403 "To complicate matters, Saladin is determined not to harm the city itself.
If a single holy shrine is damaged, the populace might well view Saladin not as a
liberator, but as yet another conqueror."
203451 "The last time I entered Jerusalem, as a crusading knight, I waded through
the blood of victims. This time, not a building was looted, not a townsperson was
injured. Saladin set free nearly every prisoner he took."
203452 "The citizens of Jerusalem proclaimed Saladin as their savior. He offered to
free me, but after twenty years in his service I have decided to see this journey
to the end."

203501 "Tiberias. Twenty and a half years of bloodshed..."


203502 "We are far from the ocean, so the Saracens interpret the smell of salt and
commotion of seabirds as signs from Heaven."
203503 "I sit near Saladin's tent, watching the butchery below. Saracen horse
archers sweep through yet another disorganized mob of European soldiers."
203504 "The great Crusader nations have been reduced to puny city-states. Only
Tiberias, Tyre, and Ascalon are still in Crusader hands. Nonetheless, these three
cities are well fortified and could withstand any siege."
203505 "Saladin has had many victories on the open desert, but the Crusader castles
are unparalleled. If he is victorious now, the Holy Land will belong to the
Saracens again. A failure could mean even more decades of carnage."
203551 "Once, I was amazed at the nobility of the Saracen warriors. Only a few
years ago they entered battle as gentlemen, bringing with them treasure chests,
wine, singing girls, and collections of doves, nightingales, and parrots. No
longer."
203552 "In reaction to European hostility and fanaticism, the Saracens have
steadily become more resolute...more bloodthirsty. Their love of art is replaced by
a love for battle. Now, in answer to the crusade, they have adapted their principle
of jihad for warfare."
203553 "The result has been devastating to the Crusaders. The European presence in
the Holy Land was finished. Or so everyone believed."

203601 "The city of Acre. Nearly twenty-one years have I ridden with Saladin..."
203602 "When word of the Saracen victory at Jerusalem reached Europe, another
crusade was launched. The kings of the three most powerful nations in Europe -
England, France, and the Holy Roman Empire - embarked for the Holy Land with
thousands of troops."
203603 "Saladin knows that his most dangerous opponent is Richard the Lionheart of
England, a brilliant tactician who learned the art of war fighting against his own
father."
203604 "He builds colossal fortresses and always fights in the front lines - the
ideal of a heroic warrior."
203605 "Richard's army has come ashore near Acre. Much of Saladin's army is trapped
in the city, while two monstrous English trebuchets pound at Acre's walls. If
Richard can defeat our army here, then he can walk into Jerusalem unopposed."
203606 "Saladin knows that this is the climax of his jihad. All of the Crusader
states have fallen. If the Saracens can hold Acre, then the Europeans will be
forced to return home."
203607 "If Acre falls, then the centuries-long nightmare of eternal war, raid and
counter-raid, begin again. All of Saladin's victories will be for nothing."
203651 "The first year of my freedom..."
203652 "The fighting is over. The fire has gone out of Richard's lust for conquest.
The two respected adversaries have begun to speak, finally, of peace."
203653 "War is not gentle with men's health. Richard fell ill with a fever. Because
he respected his enemy, Saladin sent Richard fruit and mountain snow to comfort
him. Soon enough, Richard boarded a ship headed back to England. The Third Crusade
is over."
203654 "The final treaty was signed on September 2, 1192. By its terms, Jerusalem
remains in Saracen hands, but Christian pilgrims are to be allowed to visit all the
holy places, freely and safely. It seems a fitting compromise to a war that has
been fought over religion and land."
203655 "The war is over, but I do not think I shall ever set foot in Normandy
again. I want to see the steel foundries in Damascus and the gardens of the Caliph
in Baghdad. I have never seen the mighty Krak de Chevaliers, now-fallen fortress of
the Knights Hospitaller. The Holy Land has many wondrous sights, and I can spend a
lifetime here."
203656 "It is peace in the Holy Land...for the moment. Sadly, in a land so small,
home to so many different cultures, birthplace of three of the world's great
religions, I suspect that blood may one day stain the sand again."

// 04 - Genghis Khan

204101 "A blue wolf took as his spouse a fallow doe. They settled at the head of
the Onon River to raise their offspring. And there were born the Mongols."
204102 "So begins my life's work, 'The Secret History of the Mongols.' I have been
selected to compose this epic, because great events are about to take place. We are
going to leave Mongolia."
204103 "I have lived always on this frigid, dry, and endless steppe. The tribes
here squabble like vultures fighting over the desiccated corpse of a marmot. We
fight over limited resources: scarce water, few trees, sparse grass for our herds
to graze on."
204104 "A wise and dangerous man named Temujin means to change all this. He says
that if the tribal conflict is to end, the Mongols require but two things. First,
we need green pastures for our herds. With more to go around, there will be less
competition among tribes."
204105 "Second, we are a culture of warriors; we need a common enemy with which to
do battle."
204106 "To meet both these needs, Temujin has come up with the most modest of
schemes: to unite the tribes and go to war with anyone who stands in our path."
204107 "'How?' we ask him. 'How can nomadic horsemen in felt tents embark on a
campaign of world conquest?'"
204108 "Temujin replies that we will fight not as warriors, but as a unified army.
We fight not for personal glory, but for the glory of the horde."
204109 "And with those words, the name of Temujin has passed almost into obscurity.
His name is replaced with a title: Great Khan. Genghis Khan."
204151 "Nearly all of the Mongol tribes have united under the Great Khan. The
chieftains of those tribes reluctant to join were boiled alive."
204152 "Each day new faces have taken up the bow; unfamiliar hands hold the nine
bands of yak hair that has become Genghis' standard. There are more men and horses
gathered in the camp than I ever knew existed."
204153 "Horse archers and lancers, men in leather cuirass and silk armor, all lift
their heads upward to the platform from where Genghis speaks. The Great Khan calls
himself the punishment of God. Men smile like hungry wolves. It is dawn of the
first day of the Mongol Empire."
204201 "Winter has come to the steppes. The earth is frozen hard as bone, and the
only movement is the steam rising from the nostrils of men and horses. Only the
promise of battle brings warmth."
204202 "Nearly all of the tribes in Mongolia now answer to Genghis Khan. But with
success, comes enemies. A man named Kushluk has challenged Genghis' right to rule.
Kushluk sows discord among the Kara-Khitai Khanate and means to have himself
proclaimed as a rival khan."
204203 "Genghis cannot allow these transgressions to go unpunished. He needs to set
an example. So we ride west, to find and slay Kushluk. If the Kara-Khitai shelter
him, then their lives are forfeit as well."
204251 "Genghis Khan knows that there are weapons aside from the lance and bow. He
is a master of mental warfare. Just as he has made an example of Kushluk, he makes
examples of enemy lands."
204252 "When first we encounter a new adversary, the Great Khan spares no one. We
ride to the closest town, slay every living thing, burn down the city, sow the
fields with salt, and make a mountain of enemy skulls."
204253 "After that, the other towns are quick to send forth their emissaries, eager
to placate the ravenous Mongol hordes."

204301 "Now all of Mongolia is in the grasp of Genghis Khan. Beyond are two vast
empires: China to the east and Persia to the west. Persia is the sensible next
choice of battle since it separates us from the rich forage pastures in Europe."
204302 "But first, Genghis Khan has another score to settle."
204303 "After witnessing the power of our cavalry in action, the Chinese spoke of
nothing but peace. They even promised support for our campaign westward."
204304 "But now that we have turned away from China, they have decided not to
deliver the men and arms they promised Genghis."
204305 "It is time for another demonstration. Persia can wait as the horde wheels
east once more, and we prepare to march into China, the largest, most advanced
empire in the world."
204351 "It was...a glorious slaughter. For years, visitors to China will be
astounded by the mountain of human and horse skeletons that we have erected."
204352 "Genghis' horde has gained one huge advantage by this invasion of China:
technology. We now possess the knowledge and equipment to allow us to make siege
weapons."
204353 "We will crack open the Persian and European castles to reach the softer
parts within."
204354 "Genghis is pleased with our progress and with the legacy he leaves behind.
His mother once ate wild onions and rodents to keep from starving. But the children
and grandchildren of Genghis will eat off plates of Persian gold."

204401 "Sleep in the saddle. Drink the rain. Eat nothing but dried meat, dried
milk, and horse blood. Such is the life of a Mongol at war."
204402 "At night we are rewarded with fermented yak's milk and the promise of
Persian treasures."
204403 "Driven on by the words of the Great Khan we have crossed miles of the Asian
continent at full gallop."
204404 "Before us lies the vast empire of Persia."
204405 "The Khwarazm Shah will be given one chance to submit, and then his cities
will be pulled down, brick by brick. But not all of us head into Persia."
204406 "Genghis has sent Subotai Ba'atur of the Reindeer People north into Russia.
The Russian principalities are disorganized, and Genghis hopes that Subotai can
break them one by one. Then the horde will rule all of Asia."
204451 "The Persian army numbered nearly half a million men, but was beaten by a
Mongol army less than half that size. The governors of outlying cities were
executed by pouring molten silver into their eyes and throats."
204452 "The capital city of Samarkand, which was expected to withstand our siege
for a full year, fell in five days. Separate mountains were made of the skulls of
men, women, children, horses, dogs, and cats."
204453 "We roamed the streets in wonder at the opulence of the Persians, drinking
at their fountains and gorging ourselves on sherbet and tropical fruit. For a man
born in a tent, it seemed as if Genghis Khan had torn open the gates to Heaven
itself."
204454 "Russia and Mesopotamia were now ours to command. The empire now stretched
over seven thousand miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Black Sea. We were about to
enter Europe when tragedy struck."

204501 "Old wolves do not die gracefully. Warriors their whole lives, they do not
know how to live when they grow old and their fangs fall out. Such it is with
Mongols as well. Genghis Khan was now eighty years old."
204502 "On the night when we knew our glorious conquest was about to end, Genghis
summoned his sons to his tent."
204503 "They found their father shivering before a fire, delirious with pain. 'My
descendants will wear gold,' he said, 'they will eat the finest meals and ride the
finest horses...and forget to whom they owe it all. A deed is not glorious until it
is finished.'"
204504 "And he refused to die until Ogedei, his third son, promised to continue the
war."
204505 "Ogedei emerged from the tent, carrying his father's bow, and declared:"
204506 "'This storm is not yet finished, I hear the sound of lightning, and it
strikes in Poland.'"
204507 "The church bells rang in Europe when they saw our horde pouring out of the
mountains. The armies of Bohemia and Germany hastened to Poland's defense."
204508 "To them, our army might have been from the underworld itself, still
commanded by the shade of the Great Khan."
204551 "European knights fight as individuals, but Mongols fight as part of a
united army. Laden down with armor, the Polish and Germans could not catch our
quick-footed horses."
204552 "Time and again, we fired flaming arrows at them, then retreated out of
range. When the enemy cavalry pursued, we would lead them into an ambush."
204553 "The ambush was always announced by the naqara, a huge drum carried into
battle on a camel. A hundred times a hundred times has the naqara sounded on this
day."
204554 "We were ordered to cut off an ear of every victim. Nine large sacks of ears
were sent back to Ogedei Khan."

204601 "Only one power stands in our way. France and the kingdoms beyond are beaten
from decades of crusades. If we break Eastern Europe, then it is likely that all of
Western Europe will surrender. But, to break the East, we must defeat Hungary."
204602 "Hungary possesses the most formidable cavalry in all of Europe. They have
not only the strength of European armor, but their horses are cousins to our own,
having drifted in from across the Russian steppes."
204603 "The Sajo River that separates us from the army of Hungary is frozen, so we
will be unable to deploy boats. Instead, the battle will be won or lost over who
controls the bridge."
204604 "Subotai is coming with reinforcements. If we can survive the charge of the
Hungarian knights until Subotai arrives, then we can hope to take the bridge."
204605 "Much rests on this simple bridge. If we capture the Sajo crossing, we
capture Hungary. If Hungary falls, so falls Europe. With Europe and Asia under
Mongol control, our conquest of the world will be complete and final."
204651 "Nothing stands between us and the Atlantic Ocean. The Mongol Empire
comprises two whole continents; Europe and Asia belong to the hordes."
204652 "Every place we have entered has changed forever with our passing. Russia,
once filled with quarreling city-states, much like the old Mongol tribes, will
forever be melded into a single, gigantic empire."
204653 "Genghis Khan forged the largest empire ever created in the life of one man.
His body was carried back to the River Onon, where the legendary Blue Wolf and
Fallow Doe once lived. He was buried in the ground, and a thousand horsemen rode
over the site to disguise it. Genghis Khan's final resting place was devoured by
the steppes."
204654 "My people cherish the legend that their great ruler will one day return to
lead his horsemen to another bloody victory."

// 05 - Barbarossa

205101 "So you have come to hear the tale of Frederick Barbarossa? Better order us
another round. Maybe three. You see ... it is a great tale. But then again,
everything about the man was great."
205102 "Barbarossa was a man of great appetites ... great ambitions ... and a
great, red beard. But the question - the question you want to know - is: Was that
enough? Is the will of one man enough to forge an empire?"
205103 "For there was no Holy Roman Empire at that time, only a gaggle of
quarrelling city-states. These dubiously loyal princedoms were more interested in a
loose confederation than a unified empire."
205104 "But Barbarossa, he believed that he was the emperor by the will of God, and
he intended to bring the Holy Roman Empire back to its former glory. If that meant
crushing all of the German princes, well, so be it."
205151 "They have called Barbarossa the scourge of Europe. But he was as skilled a
diplomat as he was a warrior."
205152 "He united the German principalities with more than just the sword. He
established a set of legal codes known as the Land Peaces. He helped the hungry by
fixing an official price for grain after every harvest. The provinces of Germany
quickly became the wealthiest and most powerful in Europe."
205153 "The Holy Roman Empire was so successful, in fact, that it quickly became
strong enough to expand."

205201 "The empire was in full bloom, and her population was rapidly growing. The
people felled forests, drained marshlands, and reclaimed land from the sea itself."
205202 "This newfound prosperity made expansion too tempting to resist. Eager to
test his military might, Barbarossa set his sights east towards the Kingdom of
Poland."
205203 "To assist in his invasion, Barbarossa called up one of his mightiest
vassals, Henry the Lion. Henry was a powerful prince of Saxony, and his decadent
palaces outshone the emperor's own."
205204 "While he swore fealty to Barbarossa, some questioned whether Henry the Lion
did not want the Empire for his own."
205205 "By ordering Henry the Lion to aid in the subjugation of Poland, Barbarossa
meant to test his oath of allegiance once and for all."
205251 "Henry expected to be drawn and quartered, the usual fate of traitors in
those times. But Barbarossa recognized the potential for a strong ally and
officially forgave him, provided that Henry the Lion would swear to support
Barbarossa from now on."
205252 "Amazingly, Henry agreed."
205253 "The Germans were unified, and Henry the Lion was pacified. But the Holy
Roman Empire was not complete. Harkening back to Charlemagne, the empire claimed
ownership of Italy, and especially Rome."

205301 "In Rome, the pope firmly believed that it was the church, not the emperor,
who was the ultimate authority for the empire. Barbarossa could not convince the
pope to see things his way, so he appointed his own pope."
205302 "This too was not enough, for pope and antipope promptly excommunicated each
other."
205303 "In the end, Barbarossa had to resort again to politics at the point of a
lance. If the pope would not listen to reason, then perhaps he would concede with
two thousand German knights pouring down the Italian peninsula."
205304 "The greatest of the northern cities, the virtual capital of Lombardy, was
Milan. The lords of Milan were as proud as they were belligerent."
205305 "Barbarossa was determined to raze Milan to the ground as a warning to all
the Italian city-states, and particularly the pope in Rome. The message was clear:
He, Frederick Barbarossa, was the one and true Holy Roman Emperor."
205351 "Barbarossa was not kind to the Milanese. In response to one attempt at
negotiations during the siege, he sent six Italians marching back to the city."
205352 "Five had been blinded, but the sixth only had his nose cut off so that he
could lead the other five."
205353 "Northern Italy had been mercilessly conquered and placed under Imperial
governance. But Italy would not submit. If anything, the destruction of Milan made
the Italian cities even more incensed at their would-be emperor."

205401 "As long as Barbarossa's knights were present, peace endured. But the
emperor could not be everywhere at once. Whenever he went to Italy, Germany would
flare up, and when Barbarossa returned to Germany, the Italians began plotting
again."
205402 "Milan had fallen, but the remainder of the Italian cities joined together
in a confederation known as the Lombard League, for the purpose of defeating
Barbarossa."
205403 "If Barbarossa intended to make Italy part of the Holy Roman Empire, he
would have to conquer the Lombard League city by city."
205404 "But Barbarossa still had a secret weapon: Henry the Lion and his seasoned
troops."
205451 "Henry the Lion was immediately banished to England. Separated from his
wealth and army, there was little more he could do to plague Barbarossa."
205452 "After six campaigns down to Italy, Barbarossa was weary of crossing the
Alps."
205453 "The fighting ended with the signing of the Treaty of Constance, which said
effectively that the emperor and the pope were equals."
205454 "It was a tenuous peace, and one that seemed unlikely to endure, when
suddenly the pope died."
205455 "The new pope was less interested in squabbling with the emperor, than he
was in events down south. You see, the Europeans were being driven out of the Holy
Land. It was time for another Crusade."

205501 "The Holy Roman Empire was complete and, for the moment, both Germany and
Italy swore fealty to Barbarossa. Alas, the peace was not to endure."
205502 "The Crusader states in Palestine were crumbling. A Saracen king named
Saladin had evicted virtually every Crusader from their castle. The Pope called for
a new Crusade, before the Holy Land became Saracen once again."
205503 "Remarkably, Barbarossa agreed to undertake this new Crusade for the pope he
had fought so hard against. King Philip of France and England's Richard the
Lionhearted had already boarded ships bound for the Middle East."
205504 "But Barbarossa's army was the largest by far, and there wasn't a fleet in
Europe that could transport it."
205505 "The emperor would have to march overland, to Constantinople and through the
land of the Turks to reach the rendezvous in Jerusalem."
205506 "Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire and one of the most
glorious cities on the globe. Barbarossa's army would be able to rest and resupply
in Constantinople before it began the great march."
205551 "Barbarossa's weary army had marched for hundreds of miles through the
cracked mountains in the heat of July. So when it stumbled upon the Göksu River,
the men were astonished and grateful. Barbarossa himself could not resist plunging
into the cold water without even pausing to remove his armor."
205552 "To the disbelief of the surviving troops, Barbarossa drowned."
205553 "Some said the emperor could not swim in his plate armor. Others believed
the sixty-seven-year-old heart had finally given out. Regardless of the exact cause
of death, Barbarossa's Crusade ended there, on June 10, 1190. The Holy Roman
Emperor was gone."
205601 "Barbarossa's soldiers were devastated. Several knights committed suicide.
Others converted and joined the Saracens, so convinced were they that God Himself
had deserted them."
205602 "However, a handful of knights were not yet willing to board a ship bound
for Europe."
205603 "The body of mighty Barbarossa was fished out of the river, pickled in
vinegar, and sealed in a barrel. The army of the Holy Roman Empire would not be
joining in the Crusade."
205604 "Yet there was still a chance for a small victory. The surviving knights
vowed to take Barbarossa's body on to Jerusalem. Even in death, the emperor would
keep his promise!"
205651 "There is a legend concerning every great king, from Arthur on through
Barbarossa, that says the king will return someday when his country needs him.
Myths and legends about the sleeping emperor were passed down in German folktales.
The Holy Roman Empire did not endure."
205652 "She fell back into a patchwork of tiny city-states. Some would say
Barbarossa's rule was a failure."
205653 "But is it not a greater testament to the man that it was the force of his
will alone that held the empire together?"
205654 "And what of Henry the Lion? With Barbarossa gone, there was nothing
stopping him from returning to the Holy Roman Empire."
205655 "But I am an old man now. What harm could I possibly do?"

// 06 - Attila

206101 "A severed head on a pike seemed such a grisly trophy to be displayed in the
chapel at Châlons. And yet it took me weeks before I got up the nerve to ask
Father Armand why he kept it."
206102 "The ancient priest stared out the window for a long time, recalling days
gone by. 'I was there,' he said finally. 'At the Battle of the Catalaunian
Fields...fighting alongside Aetius and Theodoric the Goth.' I knew there had been
a battle here, decades ago. Peasants still overturn skeletons and broken shields
with their plows from time to time."
206103 "'Who was it, Father?' I asked him. 'Who were you fighting?' He turned
back to regard me, paralyzing me with his old-man's stare. 'Attila the Hun,' he
said. And then he told me the story."
206104 "The Huns rode out from the wilderness sometime in the 370s, eager to feast
on a Roman Empire weak from internal corruption and the expansion of other
barbarian tribes."
206105 "It was the Huns who drove many of these other barbarians before them. They
were terrifying warriors from the steppes of Asia, their bodies disfigured from
ritual scarring, their legs deformed from a near lifetime in the saddle."
206106 "Despite their fearsome aspect, the Huns might have been little more than
raiders, had it not been for the leadership of Attila. He called himself the
Scourge of God. Attila and his brother Bleda led the Huns not just to raid, but to
devastate Scythia and Persia."
206151 "I asked Father Armand more about this legendary Attila the Hun, whom the
stories always treat as more of a monster than a man."
206152 "'He was a man,' the priest said, 'but he did not look like the Romans, nor
did he worship the Roman god. That was the cause of all that was to follow.'
Father Armand shivered as if from the cold breeze that blew in from the chapel's
open windows."
206153 "Kingship among the barbarians was not by divine right or lineage, but by
who had the strongest will. Attila was the strongest of the Huns, and he
reinforced his position by brandishing a rusty old blade and proclaiming it to be
the Sword of Mars, the old Roman god of war. Attila had a custom of fiercely
rolling his eyes, as if he wished to enjoy the terror that he inspired...'"
206154 "He had a power over other men, so that many chose to join him. Many
foreigners joined his council, Scythians and Burgundians and Goths. It was not
uncommon for Romans to do so as well - several decades prior, the son of a
prominent Roman family had been sent to the Huns as a hostage to ensure peace. The
name of this boy was Flavius Aetius, a name not soon to be forgotten.'"

206201 "Now that the memories had stirred, Father Armand seemed eager to tell his
tale. He explained how the Huns, like the other barbarians, had a style of warfare
dramatically different from the ancient Romans or my own Franks."
206202 "The Huns would charge as one group, often firing arrows as they came, and
then suddenly retreat again. For the nations of Europe, who were used to forming
up lines and columns and even issuing challenges for personal combat, this was an
aberration. They were unable to comprehend warfare in this manner."
206203 "Barbarians did not conquer lands. They did not try and hold and colonize
the cities they attacked. Instead, they ravaged and pillaged, and took their loot
back to their camps."
206204 "By that time, there were two Roman Empires, the government having decided
that the Roman lands were simply too vast for one city to manage effectively.
Attila and the Huns began a series of raids into the Eastern Empire."
206251 "The Roman city of Naissus was erased from the earth. The Huns so
devastated the place that when the Roman ambassadors passed through to meet with
Attila, they had to camp outside the city on the river. The riverbanks were covered
with human bones, and the stench of death was so great that no one could enter the
city. Many cities of Europe would soon suffer the same fate."
206252 "The ambassadors that the Romans sent to Attila concealed an assassination
attempt."
206253 "Somehow, Attila knew of the attempt on his life, and sent the terrified
assassin back to his emperor, with the gold he had been paid to do the deed in a
sack tied to his neck."
206254 "Following such a demonstration, the Huns had no difficulty convincing the
Eastern Roman Empire to start paying them tribute, protection money to stave off
the inevitable Hun invasion."

206301 "By this time, the Romans had considerable experience dealing with
barbarians. They could civilize the raiders to some extent by offering them
otherwise useless land on the Roman borders as a token tribute. Before Attila,
this tactic seemed to be working on the Huns, who settled in the Danube River
valley."
206302 "All that changed when Attila seized command. He was much more aggressive
and unpredictable than the previous Hunnic kings. He demanded that the tributes
from Rome be increased and when the Romans refused, Attila made war on the Eastern
Roman Empire."
206303 "He marched on the great city of Constantinople, whose double walls had
never fallen."
206304 "Attila was done with raiding. Now the Huns advanced slowly, eradicating
everything in their path. The Romans would reinstate the tribute, or they would be
destroyed."
206351 "'Who was this man?' I asked, 'to threaten the Roman emperor?'"
206352 "Titles such as 'Emperor' meant nothing to the Huns. Attila was not an
appointed ruler, only the strongest among the Huns. The amenities of his 'office'
meant nothing to him. While his chieftains and council ate off of silver plates,
Attila's own plate and goblet were hewn from simple wood. His Scythian guards had
jewels on their sword hilts and their cloaks were clasped with gold, but Attila
showed no such affectations."
206353 "He was interested only in conquest. Some said that he was trying to build
a legacy to rival that of Alexander the Great. All of the barbarians wanted to
possess Rome, as if it would buy them instant legitimacy as a world-spanning
empire. Unlike most of the other barbarians, however, Attila was actually going to
get his chance."
206401 "The Western Roman emperor had a sister named Honoria, who after weary years
of confinement to her parlor, made the preposterous decision to send a letter to
Attila the Hun. She asked him to marry her. One suspects Honoria did not know
what she was getting into."
206402 "Attila was plentifully supplied with wives, but he immediately saw the
advantage that such a union could put him in. Suddenly, his plans changed. He
would not invade the Eastern Roman Empire at Constantinople, but the Western
Empire, at Rome. Indeed, he claimed half of the Western Empire as his dowry."
206403 "Attila sent the Huns to march across the Rhine River, and made alliances
with the other barbarian chieftains. Some, namely the Burgundians and Ostrogoths,
joined the Hunnic confederation, while others, such as the Visigoths, sought to
seek Roman favor by opposing the Huns."
206404 "When Attila entered the Roman province of Gaul, he could claim that he
merely sought by force what was his by right of betrothal to Honoria."
206451 "The old priest hung his head as he related what happened next, and I could
tell the weight of the memories caused him great sorrow."
206452 "Attila would stop at nothing until he reached his fiancée, Honoria, and his
goal of ruling the Roman Empire. The ravaging of Gaul was unprecedented."
206453 "People were tortured, their bodies torn asunder by wild horses, or their
bones crushed under the weight of rolling wagons. Their unburied limbs were
abandoned on the public roads as prey to dogs."
206454 "Heads on stakes stretched from Gaul clear back to the Danube River, from
whence the Huns had come. They lay siege to Orléans, for Attila had learned much
of siegecraft since he had faced the walls of Constantinople."
206455 "But as the Huns set to their fell task, a great cloud of dust appeared on
the horizon. Aetius and the Roman army had come."

206501 "'And now,' said Father Armand, 'is where I entered the story.'"
206502 "The battle between Hun and Roman was fought at the end of June, 451. The
Romans were commanded by Aetius, a brilliant and celebrated general who had been
held hostage by the Huns when he was a boy. Aetius knew Attila and he knew the
Hunnic ways. Since he had returned to the Western Empire, Aetius had done more
than any man to keep Rome alive throughout the period of barbarian invasions."
206503 "His army was not large enough to face Attila alone, so Aetius convinced
tribes of the Alans and Visigoths to ally with him. Even though these dubious
allies had a common hatred of the Huns, it was still a remarkable achievement on
Aetius' part to have drawn them into an effective military relationship."
206504 "The Huns were eager for battle. Attila's shamans looked at the entrails of
cattle and the color of sheep bones, and prophesized that the Huns would meet
defeat on the Catalaunian Fields. However, they also foresaw that the commander of
the opposing force would be killed."
206505 "Attila must have thought this a fair trade, because he brought battle to
Aetius and the Goths."
206506 "Before blood was drawn, Attila stood before his assembled troops clutching
the sword of Mars in his fist. He told them, 'It is a right of nature to glut the
soul with vengeance. I shall hurl the first spear at the foe. If any man can
stand at rest while Attila fights, he is a dead man.'"
206551 "It was a catastrophic battle, one of the largest and greatest the world has
ever seen. The stream was turned to a torrent by the rushing of blood. I pity
those that were forced to slake their thirst from it. 'Cadavera vero innumera',
the Romans said afterwards. 'Truly countless bodies.' Perhaps 300,000 men were
left dead on the Catalaunian Fields. It is said the ghosts of those killed
continued to fight for several days."
206552 "I passed within inches of the fell Hun king as he stalked the battlefield,
trying to determine which of his chieftains and allies yet lived. When he found
me, huddled beneath my shield, I made my peace with God. But Attila did not seek
my decapitation. He saw that I was a holy man, and ordered me to join his retinue
of foreign advisors. 'That is how you know so much of the Huns,' I offered."
206553 "The priest nodded. Despite the carnage, the outcome of the legendary battle
was unclear. Attila had lost much of his cavalry, but the Roman army would never
recover from its losses. For a time, no one knew if the Hunnic king would continue
to pursue the hand of Honoria. 'But what of the prophecy?' I asked. 'Did Aetius
die on the battlefield?'"
206554 "'Nay. It was Theodoric the Goth, not Aetius, who died and fulfilled the
prophecy. Aetius knew that if he utterly destroyed the Huns, then the Visigoths
would have no need for a Roman alliance and Rome would face yet another barbarian
threat."
206555 "And so, Aetius retired from military life, hoping that the outcome of the
Catalaunian Fields would leave the Huns and Goths in a stalemate. He hoped he had
done enough to save his empire. He had not."

206601 "As far as Attila was concerned, Honoria was waiting with open arms in Rome.
The very next year, partially recovered from his losses, Attila turned his
attention to Italy."
206602 "The Huns crossed the Alps and moved down the Italian peninsula, launching
another great invasion that terrorized the inhabitants of the Western Roman Empire.
He meant to take Rome, and crown himself emperor."
206603 "This was not the Rome of Caesar, mind you, but a withering Rome, beaten
from earthquakes and barbarian wars. And this time, there was no General Aetius to
hold off the Huns' savagery."
206651 "The city of Aquileia at the tip of the Adriatic was wiped off the face of
the earth. The fugitives from that pitiful city took refuge among the islands,
marshes, and lagoons at the head of the Adriatic Sea and there founded the town of
Venetia, or Venice."
206652 "'But what of the Pope?' I asked."
206653 "No one knows what Saint Leo said to the Hunnic king, but that very day
Attila turned his army around and started back for the Hun lands on the Danube."
206654 "Attila the Hun died shortly thereafter. Since he had failed to claim Rome,
he could not have Honoria, and instead brought another wife into his harem."
206655 "On his wedding night, Attila suffered a nosebleed and choked to death. For
a man who had boasted that 'where my horse has trodden, no grass grows' it was a
curiously anti-climactic death."
206656 "The Hunnic warriors cut their hair and gashed their faces, so that the king
should be lamented, not by tears of maidens, but by the blood of warriors.
Attila's bloody reign of conquest lasted nineteen long years."
206657 "Father Armand was silent for a long time. He glanced over at the head on a
stake. 'A Hunnic trophy,' he said. 'I think the man was a Visigoth. He died at
the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields. I keep it here so that I may see it every
day and remember.' 'Remember what, Father?' I asked him."
206658 "The scent of a burning village. The sound of butchery. The way peasants
would flee before the Hun riders. The way we would ride them down. The way it
felt to conquer alongside Attila and the Huns."
206659 "He leaned so close I could feel his breath. 'Sometimes..."
206660 "...I miss it.'"

// 07 - El Cid

207101 "Enough. You have troubled me for three blocks now, stranger. If you agree
to cease this dogged pursuit and leave me to my lamentations, then I will answer
your relentless questions. I will tell you why a dead man rides through the
streets of Valencia."
207102 "You see that castle on the hill? That is the home of Rodrigo Díaz, whom
Moor and Christian alike call 'El Cid'. It is from the Arabic 'sayyid' which means
'lord'. He is the greatest man who ever lived."
207103 "The Cid was a knight and loyal vassal of one of the old kings of Spain."
207104 "When the old king died, his kingdom was partitioned between his surviving
sons, Sancho and Alfonso. King Sancho ruled Castile, a windswept barren land named
for its many border castles. The Cid continued to serve Castile, and its new king,
as was his duty. The sly king Alfonso ruled Léon, but openly plotted to become
king of all of Christian Spain. There was soon open warfare between Castile and
Léon."
207105 "The struggle climaxed at the battle of Golpejera, where the Cid attempted
to capture the wicked Alfonso."
207151 "Although the Cid defeated Alfonso's army in combat, the sly king knew there
were more devious ways to win a war. Alfonso lured his brother, King Sancho, to a
secret conference below the city walls of Zamora, and had him assassinated in the
night."
207152 "With the death of his brother, Alfonso became king of both Leon and
Castile--the most powerful king in Christian Spain."
207153 "The Cid could not trust King Alfonso, yet he was sworn to serve his king,
and that man was now Alfonso."
207154 "The Cid forced King Alfonso to swear an oath upon sacred relics that he had
nothing to do with Sancho's death. Before his army and his court, a nervous
Alfonso did make this declaration. In so doing, the Cid helped to cement Alfonso's
claim as king in the hearts of the people, for they so trusted the Cid."
207155 "King Alfonso did not recognize that the Cid had done him a service.
Instead, Alfonso held a grudge against the man who was the greatest of his knights
for ever doubting him. Alfonso also was jealous and suspicious of the Cid's
popularity with the soldiers and the common man. He sent the Cid into dangerous
battle again and again, but always the Cid emerged victorious."

207201 "How do I know so much of my Cid, Rodrigo Díaz? I am Ximena of Asturias,


and I am the Dona of this castle. Rodrigo and I were married in Castile in 1075.
Those were among the happiest days of my life, at least when my husband was not
being sent to do battle against the Moors."
207202 "Far to the east, in the Holy Land, they speak of only one Muslim expansion
- that of the Seljuk Turks. But here, in Spain, we speak of another - the Moors.
The Moors ruled southern Spain for so long that Christian and Muslim often lived
side by side with little animosity. Such was the case in the city of Toledo, which
was in Moorish lands, but inhabited by Christians as well."
207203 "A political assassination had plunged the city of Toledo into a civil war.
Seeing a chance to expand his empire, King Alfonso struck at Toledo under the
pretense of restoring order."
207204 "He ordered the Cid to command the army, though one must wonder if once
again he was intentionally putting the Cid in harm's way."
207251 "Once again, the Cid emerged victorious, and delivered the city to King
Alfonso. Moor and Christian alike shouted his name from the city walls, and called
him El Cid Campeador - my lord, the conqueror. After nearly 400 years of Moorish
rule, the city of Toledo was ruled by a Christian king."
207252 "But still Alfonso was not satisfied! He accused the Cid of seeking
personal glory at the expense of the crown. When he heard the peasants shouting
the name of the Cid instead of Alfonso's own name, he became even more angered. I
knew then that our contented lives in Castile were about to end."

207301 "King Alfonso sent his most loyal and able servant, Rodrigo Díaz, the Cid,
into exile with only his horse, Bavieca. Myself and our two daughters were left at
the monastery in Castile."
207302 "When Rodrigo and I parted, it felt like a nail being torn from its finger.
Rodrigo rode alone into the Castilian winter."
207303 "He was not alone for long. Everywhere the Cid went, mercenaries and
soldiers were eager to follow. Soon, he had a small army of his own. But the Cid
was not content to wander the wilds of Castile forever."
207304 "He needed a castle and a lord to serve. This too, he found, in the most
unlikely of places."
207351 "Motamid, Lord of Zaragoza, was a gifted leader of men, but like many of the
Moors, he was also a poet and artist. The cultural achievements of the Moors made
the rest of Europe seem barbaric in comparison."
207352 "As the Cid parlayed with Lord Motamid in his sumptuous palace, he feasted
on meals that came floating down an indoor stream. Motamid bestowed rich gifts on
the Cid, and made him a wealthy man."
207353 "But the Cid, ever the loyal servant of Castile, convinced Motamid to ratify
a treaty, making Zaragoza part of Castile."
207354 "The Cid never fought openly against King Alfonso, though he did make
enemies with Count Berenguer and other Spanish lords who wanted only tributes of
gold from the Moors and were not interested in making alliances with them. Count
Berenguer would remain the Cid's enemy for many years."

207401 "King Alfonso watched with alarm as the combined Christian-Moorish forces of
the Cid gained power and prestige. Finally, he could stand it no longer, and sent
his own army against Motamid's Moors at Zaragoza."
207402 "As much as he would have liked to come to the assistance of his friend
Motamid, the Cid could not draw steel against King Alfonso, as he was still the
Cid's rightful lord."
207403 "Since the Cid could not assist him, Motamid was forced to seek help
elsewhere. When he contacted the Almoravid Berbers who lived beyond the sea in
Gibraltar, however, he received more than he bargained for."
207404 "These veiled religious zealots waged a continuous jihad across the barren
dunes of the Sahara."
207405 "Their leader, the fanatical Yusuf who never showed his face, immediately
prepared to cross the ocean into Spain with thousands of men and camels. King
Alfonso's army was certain to crumble beneath this new wave of invaders."
207451 "Alfonso needed only have mentioned that Spain was in jeopardy, and the Cid
would have come! And when the Cid did finally come to his king's aid, the Berbers
were crushed, and their leader, Yusuf, was forced to flee back to Africa."
207452 "The Cid bowed to Alfonso, ready to return to his rightful place as the
king's champion. But King Alfonso was angered that the Cid had not arrived sooner
and ordered him to return to his exile."
207453 "This time he seized the Cid's wife and children. Many long years did I rot
in the dungeons of Castile."

207501 "The Cid was in exile again, and this time there were no more Moors to
welcome him in. He wandered the bleak rocks of Castile and wondered if his tale
was finally at an end."
207502 "And yet, a remarkable thing happened. Many mercenaries and knights knew of
the tales of the Cid, and were eager to follow him, even without a castle. As the
Cid wandered further south, more men, Christian and Muslim, joined his army.
Eventually, the Cid had a large enough force to carve out a fiefdom of his own."
207503 "King Alfonso had set his sights on beautiful Valencia, the jewel of the
Moorish coast. But the Cid was closer and could get there sooner."
207504 "If he conquered Valencia, the Cid would have protection not only from the
machinations of Alfonso, but also a bulwark against the inevitable second invasion
of Yusuf and the Berbers."
207505 "Events would have unfolded simply then, had not our old enemy, Count
Berenguer of Barcelona, picked that moment to strike back at the Cid."
207551 "How abundant the orange groves and olive trees seemed to the conquerors who
had come from bleak Castile. Valencia was a tropical paradise, complete with palm
trees, a silk market and abundant fish and waterfowl."
207552 "After the Cid had secured the castle and saw to the defenses of the city,
he sent for me and the children. Our reunion took place on the highest tower of
the castle, before a sea that consumed the entire horizon."
207553 "We turned Valencia into our own kingdom, uniting eight-thousand Christian
and twenty-thousand Moorish soldiers. It was the greatest of the Cid's
accomplishments to date."
207554 "We were far away from the reach of King Alfonso, and Count Berenguer
himself was safely locked in Valencia's dungeons. In time, he would be ransomed,
and one of our daughters married to his nephew and heir, to ward against future
conflicts."
207555 "If only the tale of the Cid had ended there, beneath the Valencian sunsets.
But it was not to be. Valencia lay right in the path of the advancing horde of the
frenzied Yusuf and his Berber warriors."

207601 "We were trapped and alone in our kingdom of Valencia. The Cid immediately
sent out messages for potential allies, but there were few to be found. The
Christian kingdom of Aragon was too far away, and King Alfonso of Castile seemed in
no hurry to come to the Cid's defense."
207602 "Even the Cid's old ally, Motamid the Moor, was of no avail. Yusuf had sent
him into exile in the Sahara Desert, where he spent the rest of his sad days
composing poetry."
207603 "The Berbers rode around the city for ten days and nights, shrieking and
banging their weapons on shields made of hippopotamus hide. But the Cid comforted
his troops, prayed and planned a counterattack."
207604 "And then the unthinkable happened. During a brilliant surprise attack to
capture gold and horses from the Berbers, Rodrigo Díaz, my Cid, was shot by a stray
arrow. The surprise attack became a rout, and the Cid's men barely made it back to
the castle with his broken body."
207605 "Rodrigo and I knew he would not last the night. But we also knew that
without their Cid to lead them, the soldiers of Valencia would never have the
strength to stand against the Berbers."
207606 "So as he breathed his last breath, I strapped my husband onto his horse,
Bavieca, and placed his sword, Tizon, in his hand. Bavieca stood out above the city
of Valencia."
207607 "My one hope was that the men would not realize the charade -- realize that
their Cid was already dead."
207651 "It was the twilight of Moorish Spain. The Berber army had been broken and
Valencia withstood the siege."
207652 "King Alfonso would not allow us to bury the Cid until he could personally
attend the funeral. When he arrived, he dispelled all thoughts of interring the
Cid into the earth."
207653 "Instead, the Cid's body was preserved and placed near the altar of the
church, seated on an ivory stool that he had captured from the Moors, clothed in
precious silk, and holding his sword, Tizon, in his left hand."
207654 "And who was left to rule in Valencia? King Alfonso of Castile or Count
Berenguer of Barcelona? No. Valencia is mine."
207655 "It is I, Ximena Díaz who claims rulership of my dead husband's kingdom.
And if the Berbers return to Valencia, it is I whom they shall find commanding the
soldiers of Rodrigo Díaz, El Cid Campeador!"

// 08 - Montezuma

208101 "Passed down to you by Cuauhtémoc, Eagle Warrior of Tenochtitlan. An omen


appeared above the forest, the shape of an ear of corn, but blazing like daybreak.
It seemed to bleed fire, drop by drop, like a wound in the sky. I am a warrior,
not a priest, and knew not what to make of such a sign."
208102 "I consulted with the seers and magicians to see if another great war was
coming, but they answered only in riddles. 'The gods want more sacrifice,' was
their answer. That was always their answer."
208103 "Much of our empire of rainforests and volcanoes has been conquered in the
name of sacrifice. The magicians tell us that we must make a sacrifice every
single day for the sun to continue to rise."
208104 "It took the relay teams two full days to carry my message the two hundred
miles to our city of Tenochtitlan. After two more days, my uncle, Montezuma,
emperor of the Aztecs, sent his reply."
208105 "Montezuma's priests foretold that the god Quetzalcoatl might soon return
from his long exile. How else to explain the omen?"
208106 "Montezuma ordered my warriors to increase their efforts to consolidate the
rainforest between our lands and those of our enemies. We must establish control
over four shrines that are sacred to Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent."
208107 "Because the Aztec Empire is mighty and constantly expands, we have made
many enemies. We must defend these shrines from our enemies in order to prepare for
Quetzalcoatl's eventual return."
208151 "When my warriors had captured the shrines and defeated the Xochimilco and
Tlatiluco, we made the long journey back to Tenochtitlan, laden with gifts for
Emperor Montezuma: jade, feathers, and, of course, prisoners."
208152 "The sheer vastness of our city on the lake seemed staggering after having
been in the rainforest for so many days."
208153 "Emperor Montezuma lives in the most sumptuous rooms of the palace with his
wives and concubines. While we spoke, he drank frothing chocolate from a golden
cup. Musicians played their drums and flutes and masked women danced."
208154 "When my uncle, Montezuma, first ascended the great pyramid many years ago
to become emperor, there was a great celebration. Yet now some question his
leadership. He sometimes makes decisions slowly, and rarely does he lead the
warriors into combat."
208155 "Montezuma's priests informed us that Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent,
would soon return to Tenochtitlan to reclaim his kingdom. Since I had helped
prepare for his coming, I was given a new obsidian macana and promoted to the rank
of Jaguar Warrior. There was more feasting and dancing that night. The air was
heavy with perfume."
208156 "However, I noticed as I walked down the steps of the emperor's palace that
the omen still hung heavily over the lake, spraying sparks over the midnight sky.
So says Cuauhtémoc, Jaguar Warrior of Tenochtitlan."

208201 "Passed down to you by Cuauhtémoc, Jaguar Warrior of Tenochtitlan. The gods
were still uneasy, for another omen appeared that same year. The temple of the
demon Huitzilopochtli burst suddenly into flame, although it was made of stone.
When the people hurried to pour water on the fire, it burned with even greater
violence."
208202 "I asked our emperor Montezuma what we needed to do to appease the gods.
His haughty priests made the predictable reply. The Aztec Empire needed more
prisoners. The sun god, the rain god, and even the Feathered Serpent,
Quetzalcoatl, were angry deities that required sacrifice."
208203 "Our city-state of Tenochtitlan is allied with two others, together
composing the Triple Alliance. Montezuma intended for the Triple Alliance to
attack our longtime enemies, the Tlaxcala."
208204 "I sent the traditional shield, arrows and cloaks to the Tlaxcala, declaring
to them that they would soon be attacked. Then we marched out into the forests,
our jaguar and eagle banners ready to clash with the heron banners of the
Tlaxcala."
208205 "Birds in the rainforest canopy took to the sky, eager to be away from the
violence that was to come."
208251 "The first messengers to arrive in Tenochtitlan told of mountains or towers
that floated on the sea. Each story told to Montezuma was more fantastic than the
last: they could fire stone balls, shooting sparks and raining fire that could
crack open weapons."
208252 "Huge deer with no antlers carried these gods on their backs. Their swords
were iron, their bows were iron, their shields were iron, and their clothes were
iron. Surely this was the return of Quetzalcoatl!"
208253 "Montezuma heard these reports with growing alarm, as he shifted nervously
on the icpalli, his legless throne. He ordered expensive gifts to be sent to the
new arrivals, in the hopes that Quetzalcoatl would spare Montezuma when the
Feathered Serpent came to Tenochtitlan."
208254 "'He has come back,' Montezuma whispered to me. 'He seeks his place on the
throne, for that is what he promised when he departed.' I held my weapons tightly
but said nothing. How could I challenge the word of our emperor? So says
Cuauhtémoc, Jaguar Warrior of Tenochtitlan."

208301 "Passed down to you by Cuauhtémoc, Jaguar Warrior of Tenochtitlan. Another


omen. The lake around the great city of Tenochtitlan rose and boiled. It foamed
until it washed against the houses of the city, sweeping many of them into the
lake."
208302 "I accompanied our dignitaries to meet with the new arrivals. We journeyed
towards the coast, through the lands of our enemies, the Tlaxcala. When we emerged
from the forest, the strangers welcomed us, although they kept their weapons
nearby."
208303 "I told them that we were Aztecs, representatives of the great Montezuma.
Their leader said that his people were Spanish and he named himself Cortéz,
although he seemed pleased when we referred to him as Quetzalcoatl. Although their
armor and animals seemed otherworldly, they did not seem like gods to me."
208304 "We presented Cortéz gifts of finest cotton and plumes of bird feathers, but
he seemed more interested in the gold ornaments. He asked again and again if there
was more gold to be found in Tenochtitlan."
208305 "By now, Cortéz had advanced all the way to the lands of the Tlaxcala.
There was initial warfare made between Tlaxcala and the Spanish. However, when
Cortéz heard stories about the size of Tenochtitlan, and the numbers of our brave
Aztec warriors, he suggested that the Spanish and Tlaxcala join forces and attack
the Aztecs."
208351 "Although the Aztec warriors fought well that day, my men were frightened by
the beasts that the Spanish rode into combat, and by the noise of their exploding
weapons. Although we had survived the attack, I thought it best to withdraw
towards Tenochtitlan and share with Emperor Montezuma all that we had learned."
208352 "I do not know if my uncle, Montezuma, was being cowardly or merely trying
to preserve us from the wrath of the gods, but he sent more gifts to Cortéz along
with an invitation to visit our great city as his personal guest."
208353 "I was there when Montezuma met Cortéz on one of the causeways leading into
our great city. The Spanish had evidently never seen anything like Tenochtitlan,
and they stared in wonder at the brightly colored markets and pyramids rising out
of a man-made island in the middle of gigantic Lake Texcoco."
208354 "Some of the Spanish soldiers asked whether it was all a dream, the first
glimpse of things never heard, seen or dreamed before."
208355 "Montezuma led Cortéz to the top of the Great Pyramid, where he pointed out
the various canals and neighborhoods of the city, but Cortéz was mostly interested
in gold ornaments, and helped himself to any which he encountered. I was no longer
convinced that this man was Quetzalcoatl. So says Cuauhtémoc, Jaguar Warrior of
Tenochtitlan."

208401 "Passed down to you by Cuauhtémoc, prisoner of Tenochtitlan. The next omen
we did not see, but heard: the voice of a weeping woman who cried in the night that
she could not hide her children."
208402 "Indecision plagued Emperor Montezuma. Was this man Quetzalcoatl, or was he
just a man? As the emperor brooded, the citizens grew restless. Cortéz kept a
close watch on the emperor, and soon Montezuma became a prisoner in his own palace.
Thus did the Spanish take Tenochtitlan without a siege."
208403 "The Spanish collected all of the gold that they could find. They were not
interested in our art or ornaments, but merely melted down the gold for the return
to Spain."
208404 "They also outlawed any further sacrifice to the gods. When the priests
protested, they were killed."
208405 "The citizens and warriors of Tenochtitlan were enraged. We knew, even if
our emperor did not, that these men were not gods."
208406 "Riots broke out in the marketplaces and at the palace. When Montezuma
himself appeared on the walls urging the Aztecs to be at peace, the people threw
stones at him. It was time to remove these so-called gods from Tenochtitlan!"
208451 "The Spanish called it la noche triste, which meant 'the night of sorrows'
in their language. At first, the Spanish barricaded themselves in our homes and
palaces, but we continuously attacked their quarters."
208452 "With stones, slings and arrows, we drove the Spanish and Tlaxcalans through
the streets of Tenochtitlan and across the three bridges and over the walls into
Lake Texcoco."
208453 "Thousands died. Those Spanish that were not killed by macanas or javelins
were drowned by the weight of the treasure they refused to leave behind.
Tenochtitlan lay in ruin, but the city was ours again."
208454 "Many brave Aztec warriors died that night as well, including noble
Montezuma. The Spanish claimed that our own people had killed him with thrown
stones. Thus it was a night of sorrows for us as well. So says Cuauhtémoc,
defender of Tenochtitlan."

208501 "Passed down to you by Cuauhtémoc, Emperor of Tenochtitlan. The death of


Montezuma only served to further inflame the fury of my people. I planned to lead
the attack personally against the Spanish. 'That is as it should be, Cuauhtémoc,'
the priests told me, 'for you are now our emperor.'"
208502 "I took my place on the icpalli throne and the headdress of the emperor was
placed upon my head. A crown is never a comfortable thing to wear."
208503 "Cortéz had still not made it far from Tenochtitlan, for the Spanish were
weighed down with our stolen gold. As they fled around the shores of the lake, my
warriors pursued them in canoes."
208504 "I sent additional warriors by land, for it was obvious now that Cortéz was
attempting to flee back to the safety of his allies in Tlaxcala. We caught up with
the Spanish on the north side of Lake Texcoco."
208551 "I hoped that the surviving Spanish on the edge of the lake could see as
their captured comrades were dragged up the steps of the great pyramid. Perhaps
they would then understand why we feared the wrath of the Feathered Serpent,
Quetzalcoatl. Perhaps they would know fear as well."
208552 "With the fighting having subsided, there was much work to be done. Our
city had suffered much from the Spanish occupation and the fighting in the streets.
The priests set out to repair the temples, for the Spanish had cast down the idols
that we had placed there."
208553 "We began a celebration to give thanks to the gods when a great plague
struck Tenochtitlan. Many of our people became helpless and could only lie on
their beds. Many others died."
208554 "We did not know if the gods were still unhappy with us, or if this was some
weapon unleashed by the Spanish. Regardless, if Cortéz returned, he would find a
much weakened city. I could not let that happen. So says Cuauhtémoc, Emperor of
Tenochtitlan."

208601 "Passed down to you by Cuauhtémoc, Emperor of Tenochtitlan. The Spanish


will return soon. I had hoped that Cortéz would continue fleeing back from whence
he came, but he stopped to regroup at Tlaxcala. I imagine that he could not stand
the thought of returning to Spain while we still had treasuries of gold hidden from
him. Still dreaming of gold and glory, the Spanish pledged themselves to another
assault on Tenochtitlan."
208602 "In Tlaxcala, Cortéz constructed many war boats on dry land. Then he had
the crafts broken down and carried through the rain forest, only to be rebuilt on
Lake Texcoco."
208603 "He knows that my Aztec warriors can defend the bridges leading into
Tenochtitlan, but we are vulnerable from the water."
208604 "I called the warriors to one final battle. The priests attempted to
encourage the troops by calling upon the Aztecs to defend their ancient gods and
their glorious city."
208605 "They sent up smoke signals to declare that the Aztecs were ready for war as
I climbed the steps of the great temple and sounded the shell trumpet.
Tenochtitlan would be under siege soon, and the brave Aztecs would die before we
would see her captured."
208651 "Not so long ago, some five hundred thousand people called Tenochtitlan
home. It is difficult to recall that this smoking ruin was once an endless city.
Yet, we will rebuild. We created this island upon which our city and temples
stand, and we can do it once more."
208652 "The Aztec Empire has endured its greatest challenge. Yet, the Spanish may
return in the future. I am not certain that there is a place for us in this new
world. I could ask the gods for a hint of the future, but no doubt that would lead
to more sacrifice and I think there has been enough death for now. My people
composed a poem to commemorate this great war that we have survived, and yet
perhaps still not won:"
208653 "Broken spears lie in the roads. We have torn our hair in our grief. The
houses are roofless now, and their walls are red with blood...so says Cuauhtémoc,
Emperor of Tenochtitlan."

// 09-1 - Tours

209101 "It is impossible to imagine the world ending on such a fine fall day. Yet
the storm of Muslim horsemen continues to rage throughout Europe, leaving conquered
cities and shattered armies stunned in its wake. The lightning-quick strikes of the
Muslim horsemen break the city of Bordeaux and then Poitiers, leaving precious
little of the Frankish Kingdom to defend."
209102 "Yet Charles Martel gathers the disheartened Frankish army for one last
stand at the city of Tours."
209103 "Arabic horses, bred for speed and beauty, begin to splash across the Vienne
River. Martel's knights and swordsmen, trudging under the weight of iron mail,
struggle to interpose themselves between the Muslims and the city of Tours."
209104 "Carrion birds circle in the air, anticipating the savagery to come. The
rest of Europe watches anxiously, for this is the climax of the Muslim invasion and
the last stand of Christian Europe."
209151 "The soul of the Frankish army was its knights, but Charles Martel knew that
his cavalry-undisciplined, buried under weight of weapons and armor-could not match
the swiftness of the Muslim riders. Therefore, he ordered the knights to dismount
and join ranks with the Frankish swordsmen to form a tight shield wall."
209152 "The Muslims had always conquered with swift offensiveness and were not
equipped to counter the Franks' defensive strategy. The arrows of the Muslim
archers bounced harmlessly off the heavy Frankish armor, and the light Muslim
cavalry could not breach the human chain."
209153 "Battered and bleeding, the invaders broke ranks and fled back to the
Pyrenees and the protection of Spain. From Charles Martel's Frankish kingdom
eventually grew the Holy Roman Empire, making him the founding father of both
Germany and France."

// 09-2 - Vinlandsaga

209201 "In the gloom, the longhouse feels empty, but it is filled with the odors of
rust, tar, and animal fur, and the snoring of dogs. It is the man named Erik who
speaks, smacking scarred fingers together for emphasis, the steam of his breath
mingling with the wood smoke."
209202 "He fills the men's heads with legends of exploration and raiding, of a sea
that eats longboats and an undiscovered country ripe for Viking occupation. He
tells the Vikings that they can leave their frigid homeland and sail across the
endless Sea of Worms to a new world brimming with wild grain, grapes, and tall
trees."
209203 "To the Vikings, he speaks of paradise, and of course the grizzled Norsemen
are always eager for adventure. When he asks for volunteers, men slam their
weapons on tables and shout his name in the cold air. Erik the Red smiles."
209251 "Much of the Viking history is recorded in oral accounts called sagas passed
down through generations. Two of the most famous sagas are reserved for the
adventures of Erik the Red and his men, who crossed the mighty sea in tiny ships to
forge a new Viking sovereignty."
209252 "Vinland, as the new world was called, was not kind to the Vikings.
Although they lacked the iron weapons of the Norsemen, the native Skraelings were
fierce warriors who fought relentlessly to defend their homeland against the Norse
invaders."
209253 "The vastness of the North Atlantic cut the Vikings in Newfoundland off from
their homeland, and they suffered many long years while trying to establish their
new colony."

// 09-3 - Hastings

209301 "Mercenaries and Norman knights look dubiously at the ships that wobble in
the black, fog-choked sea. What man is this Duke William to put so many horses on
leaky transports? William ignores their questioning glances and stares across the
channel in the direction of England."
209302 "Edward the Confessor is dead, and now three men claim rulership of England.
Harold the Saxon sits on the English throne and even now hastens to fortify his
shores against two invasions."
209303 "Harald Hardrada, King of Denmark and Norway, sends Vikings from the north
as William invades from the south. The outcome of this three-way conflict is as
murky as the fog that shrouds the English Channel."
209304 "Harold the Saxon's huskarls are professional soldiers, not mercenaries.
William's only chance is to use heavy cavalry. To do so, he must first get all of
these horses onto these unreliable boats. The future of England is about to be
decided ..."
209351 "Harold the Saxon's huskarls looked certain to defend the crown for him as
they fought the Vikings to a bloody stalemate at Stamford Bridge. Despite his
losses, Harold marched his exhausted troops south to meet William the Conqueror
near Hastings."
209352 "William's archers and pikemen were no match for Harold the Saxon's veteran
huskarls. Harold even broke the charge of William's knights. William himself went
down in the fray, and as rumors of his death spread, the Normans turned to flee."
209353 "William was not dead, however, and he rallied his troops by throwing aside
his helmet so they could see his clean-shaven face and know that he was alive.
William and his armored knights rode down the huskarls, breaking the Saxon force,
and continued their ride all the way to London. William was crowned king on
Christmas Day."
209354 "Because his reign eventually ushered England into a position of
unprecedented world leadership, the year 1066 became established as the most famous
date in English history."

// 09-4 - Manzikert

209401 "Minarets of dust twist upwards as horse hooves strike the fractured earth.
Thousands of Seljuk Turks stream across the Anatolian Plateau to converge on the
walled town of Manzikert, which was recently recaptured by the Byzantine army."
209402 "The Byzantines are the heirs of Rome, and their armored cataphracts and
legions of disciplined swordsmen can smash aside the light armored Turkish horse
archers--provided they can catch them. However, an unlikely turn of events has
greatly improved the Turks' chances for victory."
209403 "The Byzantine army is wracked by treachery and deceit from within. One day,
a band of mercenaries deserts the Byzantines. On another, the army's second in
command leads a treacherous conspiracy against the commanding general."
209404 "If the Turks can somehow turn the splintering factions against the
Byzantine army, they may overcome a better-equipped and better-trained enemy."
209451 "As long as the sun was in the sky, the Byzantine army could fight the Turks
back towards their camp. When dusk settled over Anatolia, however, the Turks could
harass the ponderous Byzantine cavalry as it withdrew to Manzikert."
209452 "When they could stand no more of this torment, the Byzantine flanks
collapsed into a full rout and the Turkish horse archers pounced for a quick kill."
209453 "The Battle of Manzikert was not lost due to the poor performance of
soldiers or commanders, but through Byzantine treachery. Deceit from within the
armies disrupted the chain of command, as factions feuding for control of the
throne in Constantinople betrayed their armies at the front."
209454 "A much-weakened Byzantium was then forced to call to the rest of the
Christian West for help, leading to the Crusades. The Byzantine Empire lingered
for another four centuries, but in only a shadow of its former glory."

// 09-5 - Agincourt

209501 "The rains come again, until there is nothing left of road, wood, or field,
nothing in the entire world but mud. The exhausted English soldiers hoist their
longbows over their heads, trying to protect the precious yew wood from the water."
209502 "The empty wagons can scarcely roll forward, even though all of the supplies
have long been eaten. Terrifying hoof beats resound from the rear. The French
knights have come."
209503 "The English have been in a slow retreat ever since the debacle at Harfleur,
where King Henry the Fifth's glorious siege dragged on and on, costing the lives of
3000 Englishmen."
209504 "Now, Henry has all but abandoned his dream of establishing his hereditary
claim to the French crown. Like his men, he only wants to reach Calais and the
ships that will return them home to England."
209505 "On the road back to Calais, the French army overtakes Henry. Knowing that
the English are fatigued, starving, and outnumbered three to one, the French have
no interest in negotiation. The English make their stand on a wooded hilltop."
209506 "The archers plant stakes in the ground to offer some barrier against the
deadly French cavalry."
209507 "Henry's only hope is that his lightly-armored infantry prove more nimble
than the impetuous French knights, and that the range of his archers can even the
odds before the French horses are upon them."
209551 "The Battle of Agincourt is remembered not because it was an inevitable
triumph, but because it was an upset. Outnumbered English longbows were victorious
over French knights only because the knights had to charge up a muddy hill through
a dense forest."
209552 "The English wore little armor and were able to catch the encumbered French
in the middle of their retreat. A charge by Henry and his surviving cavalry pushed
aside the beaten French and opened the road to the coast."
209553 "Despite his victory, Henry did not follow through on his attack, but
withdrew to England. The true winner of the battle was Burgundy, which was able to
come to power in a vacuum emptied by both the English and the French."

// 09-6 - Lepanto

209601 "The steady splashing of the oars of 200 ships striking the water drowns out
all other sound. The most powerful fleet ever assembled by Don Juan of Austria and
his allies in Venice sails under the burning light of dawn towards a final
encounter with the Ottoman Turks."
209602 "The Turkish army has greatly expanded its empire, adding North Africa and
Mesopotamia to the Turkish holdings in Anatolia, but has finally been turned back
by a staunch defense of Hungary."
209603 "Undaunted, the Turks turn their attention to the Mediterranean, where they
intend to break the Christian naval powers of Venice and Spain."
209604 "Now, 200 rowed galleys and six heavy galleasses lumber into the Bay of
Lepanto to meet the 270 galleys of the Turkish fleet. The ships draw up with
scarcely five miles separating the distance between them. A storm of arrows
darkens the sky, and the drone of splashing oars is finally drowned out by the
thunder of cannon."
209651 "The heavy Venetian galleasses broke through the Turkish lines and trampled
over the smaller ships of the Turks, but there were too few of the galleasses to
win the battle on their own. The Spanish and Venetians attempted to grapple and
board the Turkish ships, where the superior experience and weapons of the Christian
sailors could be brought to bear."
209652 "As the day wore on, the Turkish juggernaut began to run out of strength.
Scores of Turkish galleys were dashed on the rocks and others sank to the bottom of
the bay. Less than fifty Turkish ships survived the battle."
209653 "Lepanto was not the climax of the conflict between the Christians and the
Turks on the Mediterranean, but it was a turning point. The Turks had difficulty
rebuilding their fleet back to its former size, while the Christians continued to
update their fleets with the latest technological advancements, ensuring a decisive
military advantage for further encounters on the high seas."

// 09-7 - Kyoto

209701 "The ships slide through a mirror-flat ocean stained red with spring
seaweed. Columns of rock improbably draped with pine trees tower out of the mist.
The men on the ships watch silently as the samurai prowl the deck above. They will
make land near Kyoto and their lord, Hideyoshi, will lead the siege of the city of
ten-thousand shrines."
209702 "Within Kyoto, rebels hold prisoner Lord Nobunaga--the man who would unify
Japan. The islands of Japan remain a patchwork of bickering samurai warlords who
still settle conflicts with ritualized duels. Nobunaga seeks to forge a single
Japan, dragging the provincial samurai into the modern era."
209703 "Like his master Nobunaga, Hideyoshi wins his battles by volleys of muskets,
fully exploiting the firearms recently introduced by Portuguese sailors. Hideyoshi
intends no bargaining--he will demand once for Nobunaga's release, and then storm
the city."
209751 "Kyoto paid dearly for Nobunaga's death, and in the end, Hideyoshi was able
to accomplish what his mentor could not--by 1590, Japan was a unified country.
Great though it was, this accomplishment did not satisfy Hideyoshi, who then set
about on an ambitious plan to conquer China and Korea."
209752 "Japan was not free of conflict, as civil wars continued to rise and fall
for many years. However, the Ieyasu family, former allies of Hideyoshi, continued
to rule Japan as Shoguns until the 19th century."

// 09-8 - Noryang Point

209801 "The haze of spent gunpowder hangs over the gravel-strewn beach, confusing
the seabirds that nest on the rocky outcroppings of Chinhae Bay. As soon as the
winds of the Eastern Sea disrupt the cloud, the Japanese navy will return, cannons
blazing at the seawalls and what remains of the Korean fleet. Although the army
has so far managed to repel any of the samurai that have waded ashore, it is only a
matter of time before the Japanese are victorious."
209802 "The last hope for the Korean navy is an innovative commander named Yi Sun-
shin. Admiral Yi is constructing a secret weapon--a ship with iron armor that can
withstand the Japanese cannon and a spiked hull to repel boarders. He calls these
ships Kobukson, or Turtle Ships. If Admiral Yi can ready his fleet of Turtle Ships
in time, then the Koreans stand a chance of defeating the Japanese. On the other
hand, if he is too late..."
209851 "The Japanese were unable to establish a base in either China or Korea.
Therefore, all supplies and reinforcements had to come from the Japanese islands
themselves. Once Admiral Yi destroyed the Japanese navy, the samurai armies were
left isolated, and the invasion ended."
209852 "Yi Sun-shin died in the battle, but the Japanese commander, Hideyoshi, died
soon after, and with him, the lust for Japanese conquest. The possibility of a
Japanese empire in eastern Asia in the 16th century died under the guns of slow,
but deadly, armored Korean warships."

// 10 - Alaric

210101 "Each night I have the same two visions. One of a field of wheat stalks
swaying in the wind..."
210102 "... another of bright burning flames, trampling horse hooves, and loud
screams."
210103 "My people, the Visigoths, came to Roman lands not as an invading army, but
as a people running from a scourge... No! A plague sent by God himself!"
210104 "We warned the Romans of the impending danger, but they ignored us. They
despised and distrusted our kind. They treated us poorly, gave us barren lands, and
when we suffered famine they made us sell our children for food. Inevitably, we
went to war, and our great army struck a decisive blow to the Romans at
Hadrianople. We slew their emperor and forced them to allow our people to settle in
Roman lands."
210105 "Our victory taught the Romans to not underestimate Gothic warriors. In
exchange for the land they gave us, our young men would serve in the Roman armies,
fighting alongside our former enemies. As wars broke out between the eastern and
western halves of the empire, we gathered our spears and served Rome in battle."
210151 "The dead bodies of young Goth warriors littered the flanks of the Julian
Alps."
210152 "For all the blood we shed, the Romans did not give us even a crumb of
gratitude. A Gothic commander in the Roman army encouraged us to desert and go back
to our people. 'Hardship is upon your families, wives, and children, and your
people need your help now more than ever,' he said."
210153 "Few had heard of Alaric, this Gothic commander, but he managed to gain a
strong reputation during his service in the Roman army. He was a tall man with a
voice that could silence a crowd. When Alaric spoke, all heads turned in his
direction and his eyes flickered with an inextinguishable fire."

210201 "The elders of the Visigothic tribes elected Alaric king of the Visigoths.
Never before had there been a single king, but never before had there been a man
like Alaric."
210202 "We were drawn into another war with Rome. The Romans had failed to fulfill
their promises of lands for our families and Alaric was determined to force them to
remember their promises. He marched our army south into Greece; 'The days the
Romans ignored the Visigoths are over!' he declared. 'We will set fire to Hellas!'"
210251 "Ancient cities - once renowned for their philosophers and soldiers - were
sacked and burned to ash. The world was changing rapidly, but Alaric had seen
visions."
210252 "Despite our victories, the eastern Romans still refused to meet our envoys.
Instead, we turned west. The half-Vandal general, Stilicho, was the driving power
behind the Western Roman Empire. He knew Alaric from when our king served the
Romans. We hoped Stilicho would be more willing to negotiate."

210301 "Rumors spread that Stilicho was ready to make a deal with Alaric. Our hopes
were raised, but as weeks passed with no news, we knew that more Gothic blood would
have to be shed."
210302 "The Romans resented Stilicho for making a pact with 'barbarians.' When
parts of the Western Roman Empire were overrun by usurpers and foreign invaders,
they blamed Stilicho. He soon learned the hefty price of Roman politics: they
declared him an enemy of the state and had him executed."
210303 "In a frenzy of hate, the Romans followed Stilicho's execution by murdering
all soldiers of Germanic descent. Then, in another rush of blind rage, they turned
on the families of those soldiers, and murdered them too."
210304 "The survivors flocked to Alaric, begging him to raise his army and march
with them into Italy to exact vengeance."
210305 "Alaric coldly answered them, 'The Romans have never known fear, but that
will change.'"
210351 "For all that the Romans did to us, it seemed logical for Alaric to seek
their downfall, but that is not what he wanted. After sacking the cities of
Northern Italy, he met with the Roman emperor, Honorius. Alaric's demands were
reasonable and humble, a sign of reconciliation between our two peoples. And all
would have gone well, had it not been for the Gothic commander Sarus."
210352 "Sarus had vied with Alaric over the Visigothic kingship and had lost
dishonorably, instead entering Roman service. Jealous of Alaric, he ordered his
soldiers to attack our king by surprise and kill him."
210353 "Luckily, Alaric and his men survived the assassination attempt, and
escaped."

210401 "Never had I seen Alaric lose his temper, but Sarus' betrayal infuriated
him. He ordered me, his brother-in-law, to commence the siege of Rome."
210402 "The walls of Rome were huge and had not been breached since Brennus and his
Gauls. However years of decline had weakened the city and its walls were badly in
need of repairs."
210403 "Inciting the men to battle, Alaric vowed, 'If the Romans want fire and
steel, it is fire and steel that we will give them!'"
210451 "During the long weeks spent besieging Rome, Alaric's calm nature returned.
He issued an order to the warriors to spare the city when conquered. In his heart,
he could not find the will to destroy the empire he had served, though it had
betrayed him one too many times."
210452 "Our brave soldiers breached the walls and the defenses quickly crumbled
before the weight of Visigothic men rushing into the breaches."
210453 "Our men looted the city for days. We stripped statues and monuments of
their gold, and loaded carts with so many precious goods that the wheels were close
to breaking. At the end of the third day, a caravan of ox-drawn wagons carrying
plunder could be seen as far as the eye could see."
210454 "The Romans would write of that day: 'In one city, the whole world
perished.'"

210501 "With Roman treachery repaid, Alaric looked to the future of our people. He
planned to sail us to the fertile Roman province of Africa, but before we left, he
passed from this world. Our people mourned for days and Alaric's body was buried
underneath a river stream - the channel diverted to dig the grave, then made to
flow again, hiding his tomb forever."
210502 "Soon after, the fleet that was to take us to Africa sank in a storm. Once
again, desperation fell upon our people."
210503 "It was at that moment of despair that I, as the dead king's brother-in-law,
spoke. I reminded everyone of Alaric's dream, of his commitment to the survival of
our people, and of the impossible obstacles we had overcome. I told them that
Alaric and I shared the same vision, a vision that we, in honor of his memory,
ought to fulfill."
210504 "I concluded, 'Alaric has carved a path for us, and that path leads to
Gaul!'"
210551 "Each night I have the same two visions."
210552 "One of a field of wheat stalks swaying in the wind. Another of bright
burning flames, trampling horse hooves, and loud screams."
210553 "My people, the Visigoths, live peacefully in the rich lands of southern
Gaul. Our farms flourish and our cattle grow in number every day. But for all our
fortune, I cannot shake the ominous visions I have every night."
210554 "Like Alaric, I have seen the future."
210555 "The Huns are coming and they will stop at nothing..."

// 11 - Dracula
211101 "We could not make camp in the damp forest glade, so I led my companions
along an old path towards the base of the mountain. It was overgrown with all
manner of foliage, and the footing was difficult. Armor and weapons littered the
path, and stakes stood tall, covered with vines and moss."
211102 "Glancing around, I spotted a magnificent blade. Light yet firm and
unblemished by the elements, it shone in the rain and lightning, a lone light in
the darkening trail. The hilt was fashioned from steel, inlaid with silver and gold
to form the figure of a defiant, wingless dragon."
211103 "As we reached the summit, I could not believe my eyes. A ruined yet
imposing castle loomed above us. Quietly rejoicing, my comrades moved towards their
new camp. Then we heard the howls. Two massive wolves bounded out of the door of
the castle towards my soldiers."
211104 "Fearing for their lives, they drew weapons, only to hear a voice from the
shadows address the wolves--or the men--in a thick Wallachian accent. \"Stand down,
fellows!\" Throwing large slabs of meat to the ravenous wolves, he calmed them and
satiated their hunger."
211105 "Then he turned to us. \"Welcome to Poenari Castle, the ancient stronghold
of the Draculesti.\" The mysterious man raised his hands in a gesture of
welcome. \"It is well that your path has led you here. Come inside, sit by the
fire, and feast while I tell you the tale of Vlad Dracula.\""
211151 "I stepped forth, holding out the mysterious sword and scabbard for our host
to inspect. \"The Order of the Dragon,\" he said at once. \"What you have just
brought me is the lost blade of Vlad Dracula himself!\""
211152 "I was shocked and immediately demanded an explanation. Our host's eyes
flashed and there was a strained look on his face. Finally, the rush of memories
seemed to slow and become more controlled. \"That is a long story...but then again,
we have a long time until dawn.\""
211153 "\"Dracula sought refuge at the Moldavian court. There, he learned that
Vladislav II had begun to mediate peace talks between the Ottomans and Hungarians,
securing his position as Voivod of Wallachia. Furious, Dracula swore vengeance on
Ottomans, Wallachian boyars, and Danesti clansmen alike.\""

211201 "\"Dracula knew that he needed to enlist the aid of the Hungarians against
Vladislav II, whose policies favored the Ottomans. He also remembered his education
under the crusading Order of the Dragon, and wanted to honor his vows.\""
211202 "\"The Order was a powerful ally, and their crusader knights would serve
Dracula well against his enemies. As he paced the streets of the Moldavian capital,
Dracula mused over his plan to reclaim his kingdom...\" As the mysterious old man
paused, I rose up to take another slab of venison."
211203 "The old man stared into the fire, watching the flames dance as if they were
soldiers involved in a raging battle. His eyes flashed again as a thought entered
his mind, and he grasped the majestic old sword."
211204 "Meanwhile, Sultan Mehmed II had ascended to the Ottoman throne. Dracula
loathed Mehmed from their time in Edirne, and he knew that the Turks would be a
thorn in his side for years to come. In 1453, they had conquered Constantinople,
but they were presently occupied with campaigns in Greece and Serbia."
211205 "Bogdan II, Dracula's cousin and the new Voivod of Moldavia, had heard of
his kinsman's plight and offered his help. If Dracula could cross the Carpathian
Mountains into Transylvania and ally with Hungary, then they could launch a three-
pronged assault on Vladislav II and the Turks."
211251 "The elderly man gave a thin smile. \"Tenacity of mind can compensate for
other disadvantages. As Dracula slaughtered untold numbers of enemy troops, the
large circle of impaled men outside Targoviste grew to awe--and disgust--travelers
for weeks to come.\""
211252 "\"Dracula owned Wallachia once more, but it was not the land his forebears
ruled. Barren from endless wars, it was rife with corruption, crime, and poverty.\"
Aghast, I asked my host how Dracula managed to reform a ruined shell of a country
so quickly."
211253 "Grinning, the light flashed across the old man's eye again. \"Dracula
despised dishonesty and crime, and sought to eliminate it. He knew that Wallachia
had to become strong enough to face its enemies-and soon. And so his reforms
began.\""

211301 "\"The punishment for all offenses was death, for Dracula needed to make an
example of criminals. Under his strong rule, trade was reopened and the economy
blossomed. Proud of his achievement, Dracula placed a golden cup in the central
square of Targoviste. The cup was never once touched throughout his reign.\""
211302 "I was shocked. The fear of the stake was surely enough to prevent crime,
but to rule Wallachia while simultaneously evading the plots of the boyars was no
small feat."
211303 "\"Dracula invited all of the boyars to a feast, and asked them how many
rulers they had seen perish due to treachery. None had seen fewer than seven
reigns, while some had even seen thirty! Furious, Dracula arrested them all and
marched them here, to the former ruin of Poenari Castle!\""
211304 "\"For months they labored to rebuild the castle, toiling even after their
clothes fell off! Those who survived were slain. Finally, Dracula had eradicated
the fickle, conniving Boyars. He replaced them with loyal followers, be they
knights or common peasants.\""
211305 "\"Strong again, the Dragon was ready to breathe a flame that would engulf
his enemies, the Turks.\""
211351 "This wise man, whomever he was, was certainly no commoner. I wondered aloud
if perhaps he had fought in the wars of which he spoke."
211352 "My question was answered with a grin and a nod. I was awed - to encounter a
soldier who had survived those years of turmoil and bloody warfare was rare."
211353 "\"We sacked Giurgiu, Darstor, Novoselo, Dridopoyrom, and many more towns,\"
he muttered, revealing the scars on his arms. \"Our strikes were swifter than bolts
of lightning. Yes, we have peace now, but I have never found it. Not a single day
goes by when I do not think about it.\""

211401 "\"Dracula never breathed a word of it, but many began to think that his
time at the Ottoman court had stoked his hatred for his southern neighbor. For
years, he had brooded over his brother Radu, who had treacherously pledged himself
to the Turks.\""
211402 "\"Dracula also had his vows to the Order of the Dragon to consider. The
Pope and the Hungarian regent both desired war with the Turks.\""
211403 "\"In the year 1462, Sultan Mehmed II renewed his efforts and sent a force
of 18,000 into Wallachia. Thinking that Dracula would be unable to mobilize his
army quickly enough, the Sultan sought to take Wallachia by storm with this small
force. He was, of course, sadly mistaken.\""
211404 "I had heard whispers of the Danube butchering, but never a firsthand
account. Dracula's enduring ability to overcome the most fearsome force of his time
mesmerized me."
211405 "\"Dracula had a thirst for blood unlike any other, but he was fair. His
sense of justice wrought a change in all of us. Dracula taught us to use our
strengths to our advantage! Terror, speed, and surprise became weapons more potent
than our blades...\""
211451 "\"Unfortunately, this was where my lord and I were separated. The Turks
entered the castle courtyard at Poenari with murder on their minds and ransacked
the fortress that we had fought so hard to defend. Taking refuge in a secret
tunnel, I watched Dracula's boat float downstream.\""
211452 "\"The stone bastions of Poenari never caught flame, so I was spared. As if
God was with us, an avalanche struck the departing Turkish army and blocked the
route to the castle.” Although this 'evidence' of divine retribution stirred our
host, I figured that it was caused by the enemy cannon."
211453 "I was not eased by the change in the mood of our host. The calls of wolves
and bats filled the air as we feasted. It seemed that the old man was lost in
ruminations of times long gone by."
211501 "Finally the ancient warrior resumed his tale. \"It was a long twelve years.
I was alone, waiting here for signs of Dracula's return, but all I ever saw were
Turkish marauders ravaging the countryside of this once beautiful land and
tormenting the people.\""
211502 "\"One thing kept me from despair: the last words I had heard from my lord--
that he would return in the end. I repeated these words to myself every day, and
promised myself that he would succeed. It was a fool's hope, but it was the best
that I had.\""
211503 "\"So I endured. Dracula had preserved enough food and water in the castle
to last an entire army several years.\""
211504 "\"I had begun to think that he never would return, but rumor among the
locals told me differently. When I overheard the same as I spied on Turkish
patrols, I became more confident. I shuddered at the sight of the land that he
would return to.\""
211505 "\"One day, I awoke to the thundering of hooves and the frenzied war cries
of soldiers pouring down from the Carpathians. It was Dracula, at the head of a
Hungarian army, come at last to liberate us from the yoke of the Turks and their
Wallachian puppet, Basarab Laiota...\""
211551 "\"Dracula achieved victory at last and the invaders fled before him.
Rallying his men, he charged the enemy ranks with an unspeakable vengeance that
emboldened his army. A decisive victory was near, but it was at that hour that
Dracula's luck ran out.\""
211552 "\"A volley of arrows whistled through the air and struck Dracula in the
chest, knocking him from his horse. The Turks easily routed our leaderless forces
and our chance to drive them out vanished. The occupation resumed and the survivors
despaired.\""
211553 "The memory of a great man endures forever. As a token of gratitude, I
invited our host to join us in a pilgrimage to the monastery at Snagov to pay our
respects to Dracula's grave. Tears running down his face, the elderly man could do
naught but nod in reply."

// 12 - Bari

212101 "I left the walls drenched in the sweat and blood of the tenacious Norman
besiegers. My comrades and I usually would rush straight to the inn after a fight-
but not today. My father, the heroic Michael Nautikos, savior of Bari, awaited me."
212102 "I found the wizened old man staring out the window towards the enemy
camp. \"Foul, treacherous mercenary scum! Son, the inhabitants of this peninsula
have courted mercenaries for centuries. Not one bit of good it did them!\""
212103 "Weary of discussing Normans, whose nature I knew all too well, I inquired
about our rich family heritage. I asked my father instead to tell me of our
ancestor Panos."
212104 "My father spun around, his eyes gleaming. \"You wish to hear the story of
the family? Our Greek blood runs back generations! Nautikos, our surname-it is so
because we came as sailors.\""
212105 "\"In the year 869, the knight Panos Nautikos answered the summons of his
Byzantine liege, Emperor Basil II. He was to lead a force by sea to aid our ally
Louis II, the Frankish king, against the Emirate of Bari.\""
212151 "\"Panos was offered lordship of Bari after his victory, but he declined,
wishing to live out his days in peace. Having brought glory to his house, he
settled down and started a family.\""
212152 "The old man mused for a while, his memory slowed by wine. \"Louis, on the
other hand, ran into trouble with the Lombards. They were not fond of yet another
Frankish conqueror treading on their soil.\""
212153 "Suddenly, a bell rang, signaling an attack and calling the city to arms. I
donned my armor and rushed out the door, leaving my father to his thoughts."
212201 "I walked downstairs the next morning in a daze. The battle of the previous
night was fresh in my mind, and it chilled my blood. I whirled around, and found
myself staring straight into my father's eyes."
212202 "\"Nothing shakes the ghosts of battle like a fine story, son. Come, sit
down to a meal, and I shall tell you of the rebellion of Melus!\""
212203 "The sun shone onto my father's gaunt face. He had a head of thick grey hair
and his limbs remained strong from years as a sailor and a soldier."
212204 "\"I have donned mail since the year 1005, when I was but a lad in the
service of Melus, the highest-ranking nobleman in the city. Ambitious and eager to
prove myself, I soon became his best man.\""
212205 "\"Melus was passionate, but his withdrawn, stealthy manner began to stir my
distrust. When he invited all manner of mercenary troops into our beautiful city, I
began to fear the worst.\""
212251 "My father stood up to tend the fire. \"1011. It had been 2 years since I
had stood in the courtyard of Melus' castle in Bari.\""
212252 "\"With the rebel garrison defeated, Bari was once again in Byzantine hands.
Unsurprisingly, the local catepan, or lord, asked me to remain at the head of the
force that I had recruited.\""
212253 "\"Most of Melus' family was captured and imprisoned, but Melus and his
brother, Dattus, were still at large in the countryside. The rebellion was far from
over.\""

212301 "My father coughed and took another draught of wine. \"Melus sought aid from
Salerno, while Dattus fortified a tower on the Garigliano River. From there, they
gathered support and renewed their strength.\""
212302 "\"Melus reached far for help. Lombards, Germans, and Apulians answered the
call, eager for glory and plunder. But there was one more group whose help Melus
enlisted!\""
212303 "\"A new generation of Norman adventurers, forebears of the scum who attack
our city as we speak. It is because of Melus that this new menace is upon us.\""
212304 "\"In response, the Byzantine Emperor sent the general Basil Boioannes and
an elite force of the fabled Varangian Guard to meet Melus in the field and crush
the rebellion for good.\""
212305 "\"The armies drew up near the River Ofanto, not far from where the Romans
had clashed with Hannibal of Carthage some twelve centuries earlier. The fate of
the Mezzogiorno was about to be decided...\""
212351 "\"Not unlike its predecessor, the Second Battle of Cannae was a massacre.
The Lombards and their Norman allies were no match for Boioannes' strategic prowess
and the ferocity of his Varangian troops.\""
212352 "\"Melus fled the field and sought refuge with the Pope, which sent him to
the court of the Holy Roman Emperor. He gradually poisoned the minds of several
influential courtiers and, eventually, the Emperor himself.\""
212353 "\"Melus died in exile, but the effects of his political machinations were
soon to be felt throughout Italy.\""

212401 "\"The rebellion was over, but Boioannes still had a difficult task before
him. The once-rich province of Apulia lay in tatters, and the hostility of its
northern neighbors did not bode well for the future.\""
212402 "\"Melus' brother Dattus still preyed on the surrounding lands from his lair
on the Garigliano. Additionally, rumor quickly spread of Holy Roman armies massing
in the north.\""
212403 "\"Boioannes was not about to let his hard-earned gains slip away like a
fish from the net. The odds were against him, but he had a loyal army and a
plan.\""
212404 "\"The Apennine pass was the gateway to southern Italy, and Boioannes
intended to fortify it. Thousands of soldiers and masons followed him to the ruins
of Aecae, an ancient Roman city near the mountains, and began construction of a
citadel named Troia.\""
212405 "\"Boioannes would restore the grandeur of Byzantine power in Italy, or die
in the effort.\""
212451 "\"The Holy Roman Empire was no trifling opponent. Many good men fell
parrying the assaults on Troia.\""
212452 "\"Boioannes' forces struck out at Dattus' tower on the Garigliano and
dragged him from it. Following the ancient Roman custom, Dattus was confined in a
leather sack with a rooster, a monkey, and a viper, and cast into the sea.\""
212453 "\"Byzantine Italy flourished under Boioannes' tenure as catepan. Alas that
the incompetence of his successors have brought us to this dreadful pass...\""

212501 "Young men seek renown on the battlefield, thinking war a noble affair.
Little do they know that their quarries are in vain. There is nothing but chaos,
the screams of dying men, and the stench of death."
212502 "I long for peace and cheer. I can hardly remember the sound of music in the
streets and the noises of a bustling city on market day."
212503 "They have been replaced by the din of battle, the whistling of rocks hurled
by Norman catapults, and the solemn evening tales in the taverns told by those who
cannot forget the carnage of each day."
212504 "My father approached, holding a sword and his old helm, breastplate,
faulds, and greaves. \"They are yours now. For 200 years, our family has proudly
served this city, but today you must leave this place.\""
212505 "\"I am too old for the journey, but if you live, my death will not be in
vain. Someday, you will tell your son this story with the same pride as I have.
Fight well today, escape, and secure yourself that future.\""
212551 "The morning sun shone on the shores of the Aegean. I was speaking to a
miller when I heard shouts from the harbor. Racing to the docks, I recognized
several Barians disembarking from a battered vessel."
212552 "The tidings were grim: Bari was in Norman hands and my father had fallen
valiantly along with it. I thought of his parting words, but I doubt that I will
ever don his armaments again. Like my ancestor Panos, I have seen enough battle for
ten lifetimes."
212553 "I think I shall travel the Empire from Thessaly to Anatolia, seeking work
as I go. With all luck, I will earn enough wealth to buy a house in the
countryside, and raise miles of vineyards on the hillside."
212554 "Perhaps, one day, when I recount the tale of my family to my children and
grandchildren, I will be able to conclude it with how we have found peace at last."

// 13 - Sforza

213101 "So, you want to know about Sforza? I will tell you about Francesco Sforza."
213102 "Sforza was like me. We were condottieri - 'contract men.' When the Italian
princes were too rich or too cowardly to get their hands dirty, they paid us."
213103 "We fought because they paid us to fight. We stole because they paid us to
steal. And when they did not pay, we made sure someone did. We sold ourselves to
the highest bidder, and if another prince came with a bigger purse, we did not
hesitate to change sides. Honor was cheaper than silver, but for Sforza..."
213104 "Sforza was different. He was in it for his own glory."
213105 "That is why he took the Visconti contract. He wanted to make a name for
himself - to be more than the bastard son of a dead mercenary. He needed a patron:
an ambitious prince with many enemies and more gold than friends. Filippo Visconti,
the Duke of Milan, was the obvious choice."
213106 "Visconti had all the ambitions of Caesar, but none of the courage. He was
craven and paranoid, but at least he paid - well, most of the time. And whether his
ambitions meant war with Florence or with Venice, Visconti always needed contract
men. That is why he hired condottieri like Sforza and Niccolo Piccinino - hungry
men looking to make a name for themselves."
213151 "Visconti distrusted and hated us, but I do not blame him; his own brother
was murdered by a condottiero on the steps of a church. Visconti saw Sforza's
successes as a threat and plotted to have him killed."
213152 "But instead of running to safety, Sforza confronted the duke directly. To
our surprise, Visconti was so impressed by this boldness that he dismissed the
charges against Sforza and betrothed the soldier to his daughter Bianca. This made
Sforza the duke's heir."
213153 "I will say this about Sforza: he was a scoundrel, but he was no coward. And
his courage was always repaid."

213201 "After the wars with Venice, Visconti made sure he got his gold's worth out
of us. He sent Sforza south to enforce the duke's claims in Romagna. I think the
duke was having second thoughts about Sforza - after we left, Piccinino and his men
followed us."
213202 "Sforza could see through the plot. Although he was betrothed to the duke's
daughter, he knew Visconti was fickle. He also knew that being a landless
condottiero was a risky proposition. Sforza needed to be his own man and have his
own land - a refuge if the machinations of his employers turned against him; or if
they demanded justice for Sforza's own treachery."
213203 "What better opportunity than to use Visconti's weapons and money to his own
benefit by making himself ruler of a city?"
213251 "Sforza and Piccinino were like two alley dogs fighting over a scrap of
meat. They were natural rivals, precisely because they were so alike."
213252 "Of the two, Sforza had a certain pedigree; if you could call being the
bastard of a mercenary captain 'pedigree.' From his father, Sforza inherited his
furbizia - cunning - and used it to get the best of his rivals, his patrons, and
his women alike."
213253 "Piccinino, the son of a butcher, came into the profession as a soldier. He
rose through the ranks and became an advisor to a trusting yet incompetent
condottiero. In this position, Piccinino lured his captain into an ambush and took
command of the company."
213254 "That Sforza and Piccinino would, years later, become blood enemies was as
inevitable as two dogs fighting over a single piece of meat."

213301 "If Sforza thought taking territory would make him safe, he was a fool. The
King of Naples looked hungrily northward to the cities so easily taken by a rogue
mercenary."
213302 "Sforza needed allies. Sigismondo Malatesta came with a Venetian force, as
did Sforza's ever-loyal cousin Micheletto. But the condottiero needed a more
powerful ally. He took his biggest gamble by going to meet an old friend."
213303 "You might have thought that when Sforza walked into the Milanese court that
Visconti would have ordered him arrested - or that Piccinino would have personally
killed him. But surprisingly, Visconti accepted Sforza like a father accepts his
wayward son. Sforza and the duke's daughter were finally wed and the implication
was obvious - Sforza would rule Milan when Visconti died."
213304 "Whatever the duke's intentions, this favoring of the prodigal son incensed
Piccinino. He furiously tore his contract and stormed out of Milan."
213305 "If Visconti would not see Sforza for what he was, Piccinino would find
another patron. Pledging himself to the King of Naples, Piccinino had one goal: to
destroy Sforza."
213351 "The battle between Sforza and Piccinino was the centerpiece of the war over
Italy. Sforza served Milan against Piccinino's Neapolitans, and then Piccinino
returned to Milan's service while Sforza went to the Venetians. No matter which
banners they fought under, the rivalry between the two men became the one constant
of the war."
213352 "But Sforza's furbizia proved to be decisive. He defeated Piccinino in
battles across northern and central Italy. The disgraced Piccinino was finally
relieved by Visconti and spent his last breaths in Milan cursing Sforza's name to
his two sons. With his rival and equal finally defeated, Sforza seemed destined to
fulfill his grandest ambitions."
213353 "Then, by a twist of fate, Filippo Visconti died, undoing all of Sforza's
plans."
213401 "Visconti's death left Milan in turmoil. Outlying towns rebelled and Venice
threatened the city."
213402 "By way of marriage, Sforza held a better claim on Milan than anyone, but
strangely, the ambitious captain did not take his dowry. He allowed the lawyers and
professors of Milan to fashion a republic with all the trappings and corruption of
the old Roman one. They called it the Golden Ambrosian Republic after Saint
Ambrose, but there was nothing blessed or saintly about this republic."
213403 "Surrounded by enemies, the Republicans of Milan - more skilled at reading
books than leading men in war - needed a captain to command the war against Venice.
Sforza, by now employed by the Venetians along with his compatriots Malatesta and
Micheletto, did not miss an opportunity to once again betray those who paid him -
as well as those closest to him."
213404 "Rescinding his own claims on Milan, he agreed to serve the Republic against
his own cousin Micheletto in exchange for control of the city of Brescia. The
leaders of the Republic agreed, even though there were many rumblings that Sforza
could not be trusted. After all, for a piece of land he was now marching against
his own blood."
213451 "Though Milan grew stronger with Sforza's victories, the Republicans came to
fear and hate him. They saw Sforza as a Caesar intending to topple their new
republic. These bookish professors and lawyers listened intently to two agitators
who had returned to Milan - two brothers with harsh words and a fierce vendetta
against Sforza."
213452 "The sons of none other than Piccinino swore vengeance upon Sforza. They
incited the Republicans to betray him by signing a secret truce with Brescia before
Sforza could take that city. This, of course, angered the condottiero. He had
agreed to serve the Republic only in exchange for the city."
213453 "Stifling the ambitions of a man like Sforza was a fatal mistake..."

213501 "Milan was prepared for the siege. Bronze cannons lined the walls and a vast
militia was trained. Even the hoarding merchants sold their possessions to arm the
mercenaries of the Piccinino brothers. Milan sent emissaries to convince the Duke
of Savoy that Sforza would threaten all of Italy. Thousands of Savoyard troops
marched against Sforza."
213502 "But battles are not only won on the field with men and horses - they can
also be won in a dark tent over a barrel of wine. In one such tent, Sforza met with
Malatesta, now commander of the Venetian troops."
213503 "Malatesta listened as Sforza ranted furiously of Milan's treachery. He knew
that Sforza was not angry that the Republic had betrayed him, as much as that it
had done so before Sforza could betray the Republic."
213504 "But Sforza offered an opportunity for Malatesta and his Venetian employers.
While Sforza hurled his men and his riches against Milan's walls, the Venetians
would be free to conquer the rest of northern Italy. Malatesta agreed to help
Sforza, but, as always, alliance and treachery between condottieri were only
opposite sides of the same coin."
213551 "Hunger and disease spread in the besieged city. The soldiers left the walls
and turned their weapons inward - to the cloistered professors and lawyers who had
promised them liberty, but at a great cost."
213552 "Is it better to be feared or loved? In that moment, Sforza was both."
213553 "Milan opened her gates and Sforza lavished the people with all of the grain
- their own grain - that he had taken during the siege. The grateful, if foolish,
people crowned Sforza - that treacherous, conniving, selfish bastard - Duke of
Milan. It was not his final triumph, but it was his grandest."
213554 "That is the story of Sforza from one who fought with him - and against him.
Do I wish ill upon him? No more than I would wish ill on the fox who raids the
henhouse in the black of night. It does only what a fox does and cannot be blamed
for it. I do not blame Sforza any more than I would blame myself."
213555 "After all, Sforza's blood is in me, for I am his cousin, Micheletto. Sforza
is like me - we are condottieri. We are the contract men of Italy."
// 14 - Pachacuti

214101 "'So, you want to know why this region is called the Field of Blood?' The
old man peered over in astonishment from his seat in the shadow of his stone hut.
He smiled mischievously as he continued, 'You are probably not from here. If you
were, you would not have asked such a question.'"
214102 "I nodded in affirmation, for the old man was right: I was a merchant from
the south. 'It is the first time that my path has led to Cuzco, the heart of the
Inca Empire', I explained."
214103 "'You are fortunate that you have chosen to rest in my village, my young and
illiterate friend,' the old man told me, rising and pointing to the entrance of his
dwelling."
214104 "You must know that I am the most renowned storyteller in the entire valley.
If there is anyone in the world who can explain why the plain that surrounds us has
that ominous name, it is I,' he said, gesturing to me to enter his house."
214105 "'Today, all inhabitants of this region are full of admiration for our
empire,' he boasted, 'but everything that is now subject to the Inca had to be
conquered. Who knows? If not for Viracocha Inca, we all might still be simple
farmers like I am.'"
214106 "'During the years before his reign, many nearby tribes were periodically
conquered, but no garrisons or Inca officials were placed among them. This pattern
of raiding and plundering changed during the reign of Viracocha. He would establish
permanent rule over the neighboring tribes.'"
214151 "'Viracocha was convinced that he was favored by the gods,' the old man
continued in a tone that suddenly seemed scornful, 'but in truth he owed his
victories to his two generals: Vicaquirao and Apo Mayta. They were the strategists
behind the military tactics that made the conquest of the Cuzco valley possible in
the first place.'"
214152 "'Viracocha was too conceited to realize that, and his pride following their
hard-fought triumph nearly led the Inca to ruin.'"

214201 "When the old man had begun his story, the hut had been flooded by sunlight.
The golden disk had long since sunk below the horizon, and the light of the embers
dancing around in the darkness only faintly illuminated his wrinkled face. He
refilled his clay mug and then continued the story."
214202 "'Viracocha believed that his reign was sacred and that he was protected by
divine providence. However, the gods had turned away from him towards a new
favorite: a wild, young warlord named Anccu Hualloc. He hailed from the Chanca
tribes and had recruited more than 40,000 warriors, with whom he marched on
Cuzco!'"
214203 "'The inhabitants were sure that their beloved ruler would remain strong and
drive out the invaders. Sadly, Viracocha had grown old and fear had infected his
heart. Together with Urqu, his favorite son, he fled, abandoning his people to
their fate.'"
214204 "'Not all of Viracocha's sons were as cowardly as their father. Cusi
Yupanqui refused to follow his aged father, and instead took command of the
defense. Full of confidence, he announced that he would defeat the Chanca army.
However, the few soldiers remaining in the city could not be impressed by bold
words, as Cusi Yupanqui had no military experience to justify his claim. Luckily,
Vicaquirao and Apo Mayta had also remained in Cuzco...'"
214251 "I was captivated by the words of the old man. When he had finished, I
exclaimed: 'So, that is why this area is called Yawarpampa, the Field of Blood!'
His eyes sparkled."
214252 "'Yes, the ground on which my hut stands today was watered by the blood of
the Chanca. Cusi Yupanqui, with the help of his generals, had accomplished the
impossible: Cuzco had been saved from an overwhelmingly superior force.'"
214253 "'The name of Cusi Yupanqui soon fell into oblivion, but only because the
people that he had saved from the Chanca invasion began to call their savior
Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, 'he who overturns space and time.' Now, there were also
those who wished immediately to rid themselves of the victorious hero. His own
family, driven by jealousy, began to conspire against him.'"

214301 "The moon had risen, but sleep was far from my mind. I hung on the words of
the old man, who did not seem the least bit tired. It was as if the more he talked
about Pachacuti, the livelier he became."
214302 "'I told you about the great battle of Cuzco,' he continued, 'but you must
know that this glorious victory did not bring peace to the Inca. On the contrary, a
civil war broke out, for the success of his son filled Pachacuti's father with
envy.'"
214303 "Viracocha still wished for his son Urqu to become king of the Inca,
although everyone could see that Pachacuti was far more capable. After all, it was
he who defended Cuzco, the holy city, while Urqu had fled into the mountains along
with Viracocha."
214304 "Although Viracocha had grown old and died a bitter man shortly thereafter,
Urqu did not intend to yield. He entrenched himself in Calas, a mountain fortress,
and proclaimed himself Sapa Inca, supreme ruler."
214305 "Of course, the thought of coming to terms with his treacherous brother did
not once cross Pachacuti's mind. Gathering his warriors, he led them to Calas to
eliminate Urqu once and for all."
214351 "The old man sneered as he described the end of Urqu, who was slain in
battle. 'For the Inca, the end of Urqu was a blessing,' he told me, 'for it left
Pachacuti the undisputed ruler, and it showed that he was not only a valiant
warlord but also a prudent king.'"
214352 "'Having refurnished the Temple of the Sun, he turned to rebuilding the
entire city of Cuzco. He also built fortresses, palaces, roads and temples
throughout the country. In addition, he issued wise decrees beyond count and led
his kingdom into a golden age.'"
214353 "'I still believe that the people were right to hail Pachacuti as 'Son of
the Sun,' for he had once again led the Incas out of the darkness.'"

214401 "The stories of Pachacuti and his followers fascinated me, so it filled me
with joy when my host laid down his mug and continued. Clearly, his story was far
from over. 'Pachacuti knew that the Inca would never live in peace if their
greatest rivals, the Chanca, remained powerful. In any case, he had a score to
settle with Anccu Hualloc, who had nearly succeeded in conquering Cuzco.'"
214402 "Pachacuti sent his troops north to occupy Waman Karpa, 'the Falcon's Tent,'
capital of the Chanca. Once again, he tasked Vicaquirao and Apo Mayta, who remained
at his side during the civil war, with the command of the army. Fueled by panic,
the Chanca began to organize their defense, for it was now their turn to be hunted.
The winds had shifted.'"
214451 "'At that time, it was common for Chanca warriors to intimidate their
enemies by using cups fashioned from the skulls of prisoners to drink the blood of
the slain. Even so, when the victorious Inca troops entered Waman Karpa, the
remaining defenders had no choice but to surrender.'"
214452 "'Everyone thought that Pachacuti would take bloody revenge on the Chanca,'
the old man explained, 'but Pachacuti instead chose mercy and integrated the
surviving warriors of the Chanca into his army. Astonishingly enough, they became
loyal followers and acknowledged the Inca king as their new overlord.'"
214453 "'The domain of the Inca was now greater than ever. Pachacuti's superiority
had become too overwhelming and his armies too effective, leaving no tribes who
could contend with the Inca - except for the Kingdom of Chimor, which was located
near the coast to the west.'"

214501 "'You are still quite young, my friend,' the old man observed, smiling
amicably, 'but look at me. At some point your hair will turn gray just like mine,
and your hands will become wrinkled as well. A king will also grow old one day,
even if he is the 'Son of the Sun'.'"
214502 "Pachacuti knew that he needed a capable successor to sustain the state that
he had built. There was only one man who could be considered: his own son, Topa
Yupanqui.'"
214503 "Topa Yupanqui seemed to have inherited his father's military skills. He
already bore the title 'Apukispay,' leader of the imperial troops. To test his
mettle, Pachacuti gave his son the command of the campaign against the Chimor
Empire.'"
214504 "The Chimú were not to be underestimated. On the coast, they had built a
magnificent city called Chan-Chan, whose splendor rivaled that of Cuzco itself.
Massive canal systems fed the city with fresh water, and magnificent pyramids
adorned the city. Chimor was quite wealthy due to the droves of slaves harvesting
gold from the abundant sources nearby. The discipline of its military was the stuff
of legend.'"
214505 "The people of Cuzco anxiously awaited the outcome of the campaign against
the remote coastal kingdom. Would Topa Yupanqui succeed in completing the work of
his father and bring the expansion of the Inca to a dignified conclusion?'"
214551 "The old man was silent for some time, but then addressed me: 'You have
surely heard of the Tawantinsuyu, the realm of the four parts? That is what we call
our empire, since Topa Yupanqui succeeded in subjugating the Chimú.'"
214552 "The lands to the north, south, east and west had finally been conquered,
and the Inca now dominated the entire region--mountain and valley.'"
214553 "Knowing that his son was of equal wisdom and virtue, Pachacuti could die
without regret. Now you know the entire story - the story of the Inca.'"
214554 "I hesitated for a moment before asking the old man: 'You have told me much
indeed, but what was the fate of the two generals, Vicaquirao and Apo Mayta? Surely
their story does not end there!'"
214555 "The old man beamed at me and laughed before giving his answer. 'Well,
Vicaquirao gave his life in battle and died the most honorable death imaginable."
214556 "Apo Mayta was not quite as favored by fortune, however. It is said that,
having grown older than the hills themselves, he now lives a life of solitude in a
stone hut. From time to time, you might find him telling inquisitive travelers
tales of bygone times that are so fantastic that they seem almost difficult to
believe.'"

// 15 - Prithviraj

215101 "Long ago, a great and wise sage climbed the holy peak of Mount Abu. He
sought the favor of the gods to protect the people of the earth, but he was
descended upon by Rakshasas, man-eating demons with flame-red eyes and fangs like
steel."
215102 "But though the demons neared, the sage was as immovable as the mountain
itself. Though he felt the heat of the demons' breath on his bare shoulder, the
sage was resolute - making the offering of fire to the gods and asking for their
protection."
215103 "From the flames of his offering spawned the Rajput clans, born of fire and
smoke. Their heroes fought the Rakshasas, but though much blood was shed, the demon
menace continued to darken Mount Abu."
215104 "The sage dug a new fire pit, deeper into the mountain earth, and again made
the offering. From this pit came Chauhan, weapons in his four arms. He slew the
Rakshasas and from his loins came the mightiest of the Rajput clans. From this clan
came my king."
215105 "I am Chand Bardai, poet of the raja's court. I will tell you the story of a
great king, but this story, much like life itself, must start from the beginning.
My king, Prithviraj, was not always a great raja. Once, he was a young king of
Ajmer challenged by his own cousin for rule of the Chauhan clan."
215151 "In those days, the Rajput clans raided and warred with one another. They
were Kshatriya - warriors from birth. A young Rajput like Prithviraj was headstrong
and brave - but to be a wise king would take more than courage."
215152 "From his minister Kaimbasa, Prithviraj learned wisdom and how to rule. But
the spirit of the Kshatriya would never leave him; my raja longed for new victories
and lands to conquer."

215201 "Rajasthan is a harsh land: a desolate desert snaked by the winding fingers
of the Ganga River. The Rajput clans who rule here are as tough as the desert soil
and as passionate and unpredictable as the river's flows. The name Rajasthan means
'the land of the kings,' and from this land come India's greatest warriors and
rajas."
215202 "A king named Jayachandra ruled the strongest of the clans. His experience
and might was surpassed only by his bitter anger and ambition. He sought to rule
all of Rajasthan."
215203 "In keeping with the ancient traditions, Jayachandra ordered a ritual
signifying his authority. A mare was released into Rajasthan and pursued by the
king's warriors. Wherever the horse went, the ruler of that land would either
accept Jayachandra's authority or challenge it by fighting the warriors."
215204 "As Prithviraj hunted tigers in the forest, he discovered how quickly the
hunter could himself become the hunted."
215251 "All of India heard tales of Prithviraj's digvijaya - his conquest of all
directions. The Rajput princes submitted to him and word of his victories spread
far. Princes came from all lands to congratulate the young raja."
215252 "But far greater than any princely gift was the love of a princess. In
Kannauj, in the very court of his rival Jayachandra, Prithviraj caught the eye of
Sanyogita, a headstrong Rajput princess with bewitching beauty. The young king fell
in love with Jayachandra's own daughter."

215301 "My king was in love with Sanyogita. The two would sneak away from their
courts to meet in border towns and wooded groves, where they would embrace under
the bright light of the moon."
215302 "But for all their secrecy, their romance could not be hidden from the
powerful Jayachandra and his army of spies."
215303 "The mighty king would never approve of his daughter marrying his own rival.
Instead, he ordered a swayamvara - a ceremony where Sanyogita would choose her
husband from the men invited by her father. Jayachandra invited all the princes and
kings of India to the ceremony, except for one."
215304 "Almost one. In mockery of Prithviraj, Jayachandra had a clay statue made in
the young king's image to serve as the doorman to his court."
215351 "Sanyogita was as headstrong as she was beautiful. With the infinite courage
of a Rajput princess, she walked through the royal court carrying the ceremonial
garland and ignoring the expectant gazes of her suitors. Coming to the door, she
defiantly laid the garland around the neck of the clay statue of Prithviraj,
declaring him her husband."
215352 "To her surprise, the young raja had braved the dangers of his rival's
kingdom to slip into the ceremony. Emerging from behind the statue, Prithviraj
embraced Sanyogita. The two rode to Ajmer as the furious Jayachandra vowed that his
revenge would be felt to the ends of the earth."

215401 "Without his daughter, Jayachandra became a stampeding elephant - no one was
safe from his overflowing rage. But anger alone could not win a war and Jayachandra
would not have been a threat to my raja had it not been for the jealousy and
cunning of a once loyal subject."
215402 "Oh Kaimbasa! How love and jealously made him betray his master! The
minister who had advised my king since he was a boy, and whom Prithviraj honored
like a beloved uncle, sought the one woman he could not have - Kaimbasa fell in
love with Sanyogita. His jealousy drove him to Jayachandra's court to betray his
own king."
215403 "Whispering in Jayachandra's ear, Kaimbasa gave direction and purpose to the
king's anger."
215404 "He urged Jayachandra to send an ambassador to the Afghan hills to find
Muhammad Ghori, a brutal warlord said to command a slave army numbering in the
thousands. The messenger would regale the Turk with tales of the riches of
Prithviraj's kingdom and whisper to him how the young king was too smitten with his
bride to defend his lands."
215405 "Then, Kaimbasa promised the vengeful king, Prithviraj would be defeated and
Jayachandra would rule Rajasthan."
215406 "Unknown to the two men, their fateful scheme would jeopardize all of
India."
215451 "Thousands of Turkish horsemen - the slave soldiers of a savage warlord -
descended from the Afghan hills to the plain at Tarain. Great clouds of dust rose
in their wake, obstructing the vision of the Rajput Kshatriya. The Turkish cavalry
unleashed a shower of arrows on the Rajputs. The Indian warriors, facing an enemy
they could not see, could only weather the blows against them."
215452 "With the battle hanging in the balance, Govind Tai, brother of my king,
rode alone into the dusty fray, challenging the Turkish warlord to single combat.
He struck Muhammad Ghori from his horse and wounded him. The warlord's slaves
encircled their master and carried him off the field as the Turkish trumpets
bleated a retreat."

215501 "Prithviraj's victory over Muhammad Ghori proved to be a curse. Believing


that the Turk would not return, my raja took to revelry and the company of
Sanyogita, leaving the defenses to rot."
215502 "It is here that I, Chand Bardai, enter the story and make my mark on my
king's legend. I warned my raja that nothing would stop the Turk. The warlord had
come down from the barren Afghan mountains to gaze upon the wealth of India and
would return with a larger army."
215503 "My raja was wise and he listened to me. He sent messengers to the other
Rajput princes, calling them to war. But few listened."
215504 "Laughing, the princes told the messengers that surely the Turks would not
return so soon after being bloodied by Rajput Kshatriya. The princes of Rajasthan
sent only token forces to aid my raja's defense."
215505 "As my king marched once again to war, I feared that he would not return. I
began to write this tale and shared it with the other poets. Even if my king did
not survive the battle, his legend would live on throughout all of India."
215506 "I would make sure of it. "
215551 "Prithviraj's heroism could not overcome his delay. He was defeated and
taken to the Turkish warlord's castle in the Afghan mountains. There, my king was
cruelly blinded and imprisoned."
215552 "I followed my raja in his captivity. When I came to the Turkish court, I
regaled the warlord with the same tales and feats that I have told you. Surely, I
persuaded him, a generous warlord would treat such a heroic raja as a companion and
vassal, not as a prisoner condemned to a sullen dungeon."
215553 "But Muhammad's heart was cruel and though he brought my raja from his
prison, he mocked Prithviraj for his blindness. In ridicule, he threw a bow and a
single arrow at my raja's feet and dared him to strike at him."
215554 "Prithviraj drew the bow. Though he could not see, the sound of the Turk's
sneering laughter made his aim true. He released the arrow, striking Muhammad
Ghori. The guards fell upon Prithviraj and slew him."
215555 "In Ajmer, Sanyogita was stricken with grief. So strong was her love that
she could not bear to live another day without her Prithviraj. In honor of her
husband, and defiant to the end, she took her life by throwing herself into a
fire."
215556 "Thus, my story ends where it began - with a legend born of fire."

// 16-1 - Bukhara

216101 "Seventy-three long years have passed since thousands of nomadic riders
flooded the Eastern borders of Persia, defeated the Persian army, and killed the
shah himself. The invaders plunged deep into the heartland of the empire. The
weakened Persians had no choice but to give in to the outrageous demands of tribute
imposed by the White Huns."
216102 "Now, Khosrau, the grandson of the slain shah, is ready to take revenge for
the eternal shame cast upon his empire."
216103 "Persian heralds visit the four corners of the empire to gather one of the
largest armies this world has ever seen. But even with an army that could fill the
space between the Zagros and the Alborz mountain ranges, the White Hunnic horse
archers will not be easily beaten."
216104 "Khosrau knows that perhaps the only way to ensure victory is to ally with
another nomadic people: the Gokturks. These nomads from lands hardly touched by
civilization hate the White Huns as much as the Persians do. They are as tough and
hardy as the White Huns, and, most importantly, can strike the Huns from their
rear."
216105 "The earth trembles as thousands of Persian horses and elephants travel to
battle. Khosrau will soon show the world that the Persian Empire is still a force
to be reckoned with..."
216151 "The White Huns were powerful but too disorganized to cope with multiple
invasions. When the Persians and their Turkic allies launched a two-pronged attack,
the White Huns panicked. The mighty Persian beasts of war and swift, accurate
Turkish horse archers crushed the disorientated enemy within eight days."
216152 "After the Persian victory at Bukhara, the White Huns faded into history and
the Gokturks and Persians divided the conquered land among themselves. Under
Khosrau, Persia once more became a worthy rival of the Byzantine Empire, while the
Turks established themselves in the vacuum left by the White Huns."

// 16-2 - Cyprus

216201 "\"Deus lo vult! God wills it!\" This zealous shout resounds throughout
Europe as news spreads of a Third Crusade, called by the pope himself. Three of
Europe's most renowned rulers have sworn to fight: Frederick Barbarossa of the Holy
Roman Empire, Philip Augustus of France, and Richard the Lionheart, King of
England."
216202 "While the Emperor Barbarossa marches his army across Europe, the kings of
France and England sail to the Holy Land. Richard's journey, however, is as
adventurous as one can expect of someone known as the 'Lionheart.'"
216203 "A Mediterranean storm scatters the English fleet and shipwrecks many of
Richard's ships on the island of Cyprus. The island's ruler and rebellious
Byzantine lord, Isaac Komnenos, has taken the stranded English prisoner. Among the
captured is Richard's very own sister."
216204 "Richard is determined to punish Komnenos for this insult, but he also sees
opportunity in these unfortunate events. Cyprus is an island of great strategic
value. If the English can capture it, Cyprus could be used as a naval base for the
crusade and raids on the wealthy Muslim trade ships."
216251 "Richard's combined naval and land operations proved to be successful and
Cyprus was swiftly taken by the Crusaders. Isaac was thrown into the dungeons and
Richard crowned himself king of the island. Richard then sailed east to resume his
crusade."
216252 "Upon his arrival in the Holy Land, however, Richard discovered that he
alone remained to lead the Crusade. Barbarossa had drowned crossing an Anatolian
river, and Philip Augustus had returned to France with an illness. Despite these
setbacks, Richard proved more than capable of the task ahead, matching wits with
the famed Saladin."
216253 "Richard is remembered as a brave warrior, a skilled commander, and a
righteous king, renowned for his patronage of poetry as well as his martial
exploits. He remains the ideal of the romantic, chivalric knight, and an iconic
figure in both England and France."
// 16-3 - Dos Pilas

216301 "Hidden in the dense jungle of the Yucatán, the Mayan civilization thrives.
Massive stone pyramids carved with images of gods and kings tower above the sea of
green vegetation."
216302 "The Yucatan is dominated by two city-states, Tikal and Calakmul. Competing
for control of the rich trade routes throughout the peninsula, the two cities have
warred with each other for as long as anyone can remember."
216303 "To secure the jade and cacao trade, Tikal founded the city of Dos Pilas.
Now, the old king of Tikal sends his youngest son, B'alaj Chan K'awiil, to rule it
while his oldest son will rule Tikal itself."
216304 "B'alaj, however, is not happy with his small inheritance. The god of war
plants seeds of resentment and hate in him and B'alaj is convinced that he would be
a better ruler of Tikal than his brother..."
216351 "After years of conflict the war god's thirst for blood was satisfied.
B'alaj, having betrayed his father and brother and sacked the city he held dear,
was plagued by guilt."
216352 "Despite his victory, he relinquished his claim on Tikal and instead
returned to Dos Pilas, where he spent the remainder of his days."
216353 "Later Tikal was rebuilt and it finally overcame its rival Calakmul. However
it never truly recovered from the betrayal of one of its dearest sons and the Mayan
civilization steadily declined..."

// 16-4 - Honfoglalás

216401 "Throughout Europe, church bells ring while screams and the smell of burning
wood fill the air. Everybody knows of the terror of the Vikings and their feared
longships, but those who dwell inland face another horror."
216402 "Magyar horsemen strike deep into the European heartland, raiding,
plundering, and killing without distinction. These nomadic pagans come from far to
the east where they were driven out from their homelands by their aggressive
neighbors."
216403 "Now they have arrived in Europe, and their lightning-quick raids terrify
the locals. The rulers of Europe are powerless to stop these swift, mounted
marauders."
216404 "Raiding, however successful, cannot sustain the Magyar tribes forever, and
they are ready to settle down. Scouts have found a suitable location to the south:
large open grasslands, similar to the steppes of the Magyar's ancestral home, lie
within the Carpathian Basin."
216405 "Only the Eastern Franks, Moravians, and Bulgarians stand in their way. If
the Magyars can defeat them, the tribes will once again have a land to call their
own."
216451 "The Magyar horsemen annihilated the Frankish army and utterly destroyed the
empire of Great Moravia. After centuries of wandering the steppes, they could
finally settle down to create their own kingdom."
216452 "Many, however, rejected the thought of exchanging their bows for plows. Not
until Otto the Great, founder of the Holy Roman Empire, defeated them at the Battle
of Lechfeld did the Magyar raids finally come to an end. After this defeat, the
Magyar nomads adopted European ways, converted to the Christian faith, and
transformed into farmers."
216453 "They founded the Kingdom of Hungary, whose army was famed for its combined
elements of nomadic horsemen and heavy cavalry. For centuries, Hungary would stand
firm as the frontier stronghold of Europe, resisting invaders from the east---
invaders much like the first Magyar raiders who ventured into Europe."

// 16-5 - Kurikara

216501 "Gliding through the trees, the wind whispers a faint melody to the rhythm
of the footsteps of soldiers. The narrow mountain pass feels ominous and
forbidding, and yet there is a peaceful aura to it that calms Minamoto's vanguard."
216502 "The common soldiers groan as a deluge suddenly begins, transforming the
soil into a treacherous sea of mud. The battle-hardened samurai alone are silent.
Their honor is their prime concern, and it rests on the success of their mission:
to deliver supplies to the besieged city of Kurikara."
216503 "After years of injustice, the Minamoto clan declared open opposition to the
dominance of the wicked Taira, splitting Japan in two. Lord Minamoto controls the
East, while his cousin Yoshinaka holds the frontier. Throughout two and a half
years of war, the Taira have steadily advanced, rarely seeing defeat."
216504 "Their armies strike at Kurikara in a three-pronged assault, while an
auxiliary force seizes the lighthouse at the point of the Noto Peninsula,
controlling naval passage in and out of the Toyama Gulf. Entourages of samurai
patrol all roads to Kurikara, and enemy supply lines reach all the way to Kyoto,
the imperial capital."
216505 "This will be the decisive battle of this war. If Kurikara falls, the Taira
will be free to flood into the Minamoto heartland and claim victory. If Kurikara
holds and the Taira are defeated, the tide will turn and Minamoto may even be able
to bring the fight to the gates of Kyoto."
216551 "Thunder boomed as spears of lightning pierced the sky. Driven back from the
walls of Kurikara, the Taira army retreated in panic as Minamoto claimed victory
after victory. Smoke rose from the enemy camps and floated towards Kyoto, an
ominous shadow of the doom approaching those inside the city."
216552 "Offering thanks and prayers to the gods, Minamoto halted and made camp
outside Kyoto. Siege engines pounded the walls for days, reducing its great castles
to piles of rubble. As the main gate fell, samurai poured into the city while
Minamoto strode triumphantly to the Imperial Palace and planted his banner."
216553 "With the power of the Taira broken and their capital taken, a seemingly
doomed rebellion had triumphed. It would take two more long years, but Minamoto's
prowess as a commander ensured victory at the battle of Dan-no-ura, ending the
Genpei War and ushering in the new era of the Kamakura Shogunate."

// 16-6 - Langshan

216601 "In the distance, wooden towers as tall as giants take shape in the dense
morning fog that hovers over the vast Poyang lake. These wooden islands, each
carrying two to three thousand men and horses, are tall enough to scale city walls.
Their target is the Ming city of Nanchang."
216602 "The Mongol Yuan dynasty is on the verge of collapse and Chinese warlords
are eager to take its place. The Han want to make use of the fighting between their
rivals, the Ming and the Wu, to launch a surprise attack on the Ming and seize the
Jiangxi region from them."
216603 "The Ming, however, are not prepared to surrender Nanchang so easily, and
their army sails north to face the Han. The Ming general Zhu Yuanzhang is
outnumbered, but he is determined to thwart the Han ambitions. After all, only one
warlord can rule China."
216651 "Although vastly outnumbered by the large Han tower ships, the smaller and
more maneuverable Ming vessels were better suited for the shallow water. During the
second night of the battle, the Ming launched a surprise attack with fire ships,
which devastated many of the Han ships. Thousands of Han soldiers drowned or burned
alive."
216652 "The Ming victory secured their position as the strongest faction in China.
In time, they conquered the Middle Kingdom, ending a century of Mongol domination.
The new dynasty ruled China for nearly three centuries, ushering in a great age of
prosperity and stability."

// 16-7 - Sogut

216701 "As the Mongols descend on the Near East, the Turkish sultanate of Rum is on
its last legs and will likely soon crumble. Several Turkish chiefs in Anatolia,
called beys, are ready to seize the sultan's lands. Their warriors are hardy and
fierce, untamed by the niceties of the Rum court. Once the sultanate is theirs,
nothing will stop their further expansion west into Byzantine lands."
216702 "The most fierce of the Turkish beys is Osman “the Bone Breaker,” a
reputable man who claims to have been given the authority to rule over the world by
God himself. He is determined to unite the Turks against their common enemies."
216703 "Facing Osman is the proclaimed savior of the Byzantine Empire: Roger de
Flor, a former Knight Templar and commander of the Catalan Company of mercenaries.
Years of service fighting for the lords and princes of Europe have made him and his
soldiers hardened veterans."
216704 "The future of Europe and the Middle East will be decided by the outcome of
the battle between these two great men."
216751 "Roger de Flor proved to be a match for Osman. He managed to defeat Turkish
armies on several occasions and almost drove them out of Anatolia."
216752 "Just as de Flor neared his greatest victory, he was betrayed. The jealous
Byzantine nobles, fearing that de Flor would take the reconquered lands for
himself, ordered his assassination. In retaliation, de Flor's Catalan Company
ravaged Byzantine Anatolia and Greece before returning home with the body of their
esteemed commander."
216753 "With de Flor finally gone, Osman could complete his conquests and
consolidate his power. The other Turkish beys soon acknowledged his rule and he
founded his own empire that would bear his name: Osmanli Devleti... the Ottoman
Empire."

// 16-8 - York

216801 "Shouts of assent ring around the hall as the sons of Ragnar finish
speaking, and ravens fly upwards, eager to bring good tidings to the Aesir. Moments
later, the sky flashes with lightning and booms with thunder, signaling the
approval of the gods."
216802 "Days later, the mustering begins. Kings, jarls, warriors, and common folk
alike gather, eager to seek vengeance on the Northumbrian king Aella for the
dishonorable slaying of Ragnar. Ivar, one of Ragnar's sons, has sworn to carve the
blood eagle on Aella in retribution."
216803 "It is a sight to behold. Hundreds of longships bear crews of valiant
Norsemen and enough supplies to last the army months. The Valkyries look on, for
they will soon swell Odin's hall with brave warriors who fall in the coming
battles."
216804 "Ragnar's sons approach a small band of warriors with a dangerous but
important quest: to scout the British Isles and establish a camp. When the army
arrives, it will need a secure base from which to strike out against the Anglo-
Saxon kingdoms that dominate the British mainland."
216805 "Thor is pleased, for the seas are benign and the winds favorable, allowing
the longships a serene passage across the North Sea. As they near York, the seat of
Northumbria, the sound of the sea mingles with the grinding of axes. Skalds eagerly
prepare to craft the verses for a saga that will be passed down until the end of
time."
216851 "Favored by Odin and Thor, the Vikings watered the ground with the blood of
their enemies, seizing vast amounts of plunder and fertile land. The stench of
smoke and death filled the air as hapless victims foolishly turned to their altars
instead of their swords."
216852 "The haughty Anglo-Saxons met their match at the hands of ruthless Viking
warriors eager to earn their place at Odin's table. True to their word, Ragnar's
sons carved the blood eagle into the back of the cowardly Aella as a warning to any
who might think of opposing them."
216853 "Ragnar's sons settled the land that they had conquered, eventually
establishing a state known as the Danelaw. For the next two centuries, Dane and
Saxon would live as neighbors, sometimes at war, sometimes in peace, until the
Saxon victory over the Norse at Stamford Bridge in 1066 foiled the last Viking
invasion of England."

// 17 - Tariq ibn Ziyad

217101 "711 AD, year 89 of the Hegira..."


217102 "I begin my tale as the winds throw the sands up into a spiral, forcing the
men and horses to shield their eyes and seek refuge. I cannot help but notice how
the camels stand tall, undaunted."
217103 "We are a people of the horse, but we have the resilience of camels as well.
Invaders have swept through this land for centuries, and yet we Berbers have
remained powerful and strong-willed."
217104 "Despite our strength, we have only rarely ventured outside of our homeland
on the path of conquest. That is about to change. A man named Tariq ibn Ziyad has
sowed the seeds of ambition among warriors and simple herdsmen alike, and we
prepare for war."
217105 "Tariq is not as other men. Once a slave, he rose to become a brilliant
general. Strong, charismatic, and tactful, he is also a Berber like us. Thousands
of men flock to his banner, and men who formerly shunned the thought of venturing
across the sea now eagerly board the ships destined for Iberia."
217106 "With Allah as my witness, I shall truthfully record the events to come, for
good or ill."
217151 "Wracked by fear and treachery, the slow Visigoth forces fell easily to our
agile horsemen. Thousands lie dead, and yet one cannot help but admire how the
Visigoths fought valiantly and honorably to the bitter end. It is a melancholy
thing to see their corpses left to the crows and wolves."
217152 "As we entered the city of Cordoba, our men stared in awe at the
architecture and riches on display. Now is no time for resting, Tariq tells us.
There is much left to be done."

217201 "712 AD, year 90 of the Hegira..."


217202 "Banners billow in the wind and the tips of spears glisten in the sun as
hundreds of soldiers ride by. A horn sounds as the front of the column approaches a
promontory overlooking a large, glorious city."
217203 "We have reached Toledo, the center of the Visigoth Kingdom. I can hardly
believe my eyes at her beauty... a city worthy of a king. Tariq is determined that
we capture Toledo quickly, before the neighboring cities have the chance to react."
217204 "The Visigoth heartland will be difficult to subdue. Opposing us, in
addition to Toledo, are the cities of Seville, Merida, Talavera, and Guadalajara.
Many of these cities date back to a time when the Romans still ruled these lands."
217205 "We are not alone, however. Tariq's former master, Musa ibn Nusayr, has
landed in the south with a large army. If we can capture Toledo and hold it until
Musa's soldiers arrive, we will crush the Visigoths with a two-pronged attack!"
217251 "The Visigoth cities did not fall easily. These people truly fight like
lions!"
217252 "To breach the walls of Toledo, Tariq ordered the construction of two large
armored rams with iron heads. These engines are indeed fearsome to behold... the
gates of city after city crumbled before their might."
217253 "A cloud of dust could be seen from miles away as Musa's army approached,
laden down with the spoils of war after having breached the cities of Seville and
Merida. Both armies celebrated their success with much revelry."

217301 "713 AD, year 91 of the Hegira..."


217302 "The meeting between Tariq and Musa was strange to witness. The respect
between the two is considerable, but there is an air of competition, of rivalry..."
217303 "The Caliph has ordered that Tariq and Musa return to Damascus, but they
refuse to be robbed of their glory. Dividing the army, Tariq strikes north, while
Musa targets the city of Zaragoza."
217304 "Recognizing our might, a local Visigoth lord, Theodemir of Murcia, has
pledged us his support. Home to a strong army and a thriving economy, Murcia will
be a potent ally."
217305 "However, we have a new and dangerous enemy. Pelayo of Asturias, a Visigoth
nobleman, has rallied what was a fractured resistance into a formidable adversary.
In his dominion in Asturias, a large army gathers, preparing to attack."
217306 "If we can weather the storm that is sure to come, with the blessing of
Allah we may even be able to conquer as far as Septimania!"
217351 "Septimania and the Ebro valley have fallen beneath the heel of our glorious
armies, but we have not achieved a complete victory. Tariq and Musa were forced to
return to Damascus, and without their leadership it will be difficult to defeat the
Asturians."
217352 "The future of the conquest looks bleak. I shall continue to chronicle the
events ahead, though I fear that our land may fall victim to invasions and internal
strife, like so many other kingdoms before us."

217401 "732 AD, year 110 of the Hegira..."


217402 "After many years, our people have finally found another glorious leader to
follow. Seeking vengeance for the defeat of our armies at the hands of the Franks
over ten years before, Abd ar-Rahman al-Ghafiqi has rallied our armies for another
campaign."
217403 "Bred on the battlefield, al-Ghafiqi is no stranger to the ways of war. In
addition to successful forays against the Visigoths, Asturians, and Franks, his
most recent exploit was the quelling of a rebellion by the Berber governor in
Catalonia."
217404 "To reach the land of the Franks, we must make a dangerous crossing of the
Pyrenees. To arrive at the other side in time for spring, we will be forced to
start this journey in the dead of winter."
217405 "The rugged terrain is difficult for armies to cross, and our enemies will
surely seek to hinder our passage. Many men will not survive the journey."
217406 "I grow old, but I will make this journey through the frigid mountains so
that I might see another year of conquest."
217451 "Truly, I have not endured such a trying journey in the entirety of my life.
The cold and cruel winds were like nothing I have ever experienced, and the fear of
enemy ambushes lurking behind every bend is enough to drive a man mad."
217452 "Between the elements and enemy blades, many of our men perished on the
crossing. Nevertheless, we arrived in considerable force on the other side. It is
more than many hoped for."
217453 "We have little time to rest and recover our strength. The Franks will not
lie waiting forever."

217501 "732 AD, year 110 of the Hegira. A month since we crossed the Pyrenees..."
217502 "Our army advances into the heart of Aquitania, scouting the region as we
move forward. Thick forests and open fields abound, and we made camp near a river
crossing."
217503 "The Frankish army is powerful, but their cavalry cannot match ours as long
as we fight on an open field. Using our mobility to our advantage will prove vital
in the battles ahead."
217504 "Al-Ghafiqi will risk no error. He has a score to settle with the Frankish
count Odo of Aquitaine, the warlord who smashed an Umayyad army at Toulouse ten
years ago. After such a long time, these two giants will finally meet again."
217505 "The Frankish lands are divided and are no match for the organization of the
Umayyad Caliphate. Capturing the city of Bordeaux will surely throw the region into
chaos. Then, we will pounce on the scattered Frankish army like a cat upon a
mouse."
217506 "This will be the great razzia, or raid, of our time. I can only pray that
we are up to the challenge."
217551 "With the blessing of Allah, the horn announcing our success sings a loud,
shrill tone that echoes over the countryside. Upon hearing of our approach, Odo's
army descended upon Bordeaux, only to be trampled beneath our hooves."
217552 "Another Frankish army hastened south but was no match for our brave,
seasoned warriors. A bloody battle ensued, and afterwards the Franks lamented their
defeat, saying that God alone knows the number of the slain."
217553 "With the Frankish army defeated, there is little standing between our
magnificent forces and eternal glory as the conquerors of Europe. For centuries,
history will remember us as the courageous warriors who defeated countless kings."
217554 "My journey is at an end, but our triumphant army marches north to defeat
one final adversary. A man who calls himself \"The Hammer\"--Martel in the Frankish
tongue--foolishly believes that he can resist us."
217555 "Soon enough, his feeble army will crumble and flee just like the rest."

// 18 - Sundjata

218101 "You ask me if I know the epic of Sundjata, the great founder of the Mali
Empire? Ha ha! You were right not to seek out any ordinary storyteller. For I am
Kouyaté, griot of the royal family. Listen well, and I will tell you of this man,
Sundjata."
218102 "Sundjata was born to the second wife of the king of the Mandinka people.
For the first several years of his life, he could not stand upright. A blacksmith
made a sturdy iron rod so that the boy might prop himself up on it, but even that
broke beneath him. Then Sundjata found a branch from the sacred baobab tree and
miraculously he took his first steps."
218103 "The king's first wife seethed with jealousy, however. She saw no reason for
this feeble son of a second wife to take the throne over her own son. When the king
died, she exiled Sundjata and his mother."
218104 "They fled to faraway lands, but each kingdom feared the wrath of the
Mandinkas and would not take them."
218105 "Only the Mema, far to the south, did not fear the Mandinka. They are a
people of proud warriors, and among them Sundjata learned how to hunt and fight. He
left his disability behind and became as fierce and strong as a lion! Before long,
he was ready to take back his rightful place on the throne."
218106 "When he arrived, however, he found the Mandinka capital in flames ..."
218151 "Sosso warriors from the far north had overrun the capital on the river,
slaughtered the new king and all of the royal family, and claimed the land of the
Mandinkas for their lord, Sumanguru!"
218152 "Sundjata barely escaped the raiding parties ravaging his homeland. As the
only survivor with a claim to the Mandinka throne, Sundjata would never truly be
safe. "
218153 "Sundjata knew that he had to bide his time and hide from the Sosso spies
until he was strong enough to strike back!"

218201 "Sumanguru was a cruel tyrant and a sorcerer in command of powerful spirits.
He was said to possess a magical balophon which would grant him victory if he
played it."
218202 "Whether or not Sumanguru had magical powers, he was above all an ambitious
conqueror seeking to seize the lands of the old empire of Ghana, a golden kingdom
of great wealth and sophistication lost to the desert."
218203 "Sundjata knew that contesting such a man would be difficult. The Sosso had
allied with other tribes in the north: the Jolof, the Diafanu, and others who
profited immensely from Sosso control over the Saharan trade routes. With such
powerful allies and their armies, no one dared to rise up against them."
218204 "Sundjata had one advantage: he was still remembered as the crippled prince
of the Mandinkas. As long as this was believed, the Sosso would dismiss him as
inconsequential, and he could build his own army."
218205 "To provide proof of his miraculous transformation from crippled boy to
strong prince, he took up the baobab branch from his youth and began a journey.
From people to people and kingdom to kingdom, he traveled to rally support and
prove that he was strong enough to retake his ancestral lands from Sumanguru."
218251 "Sangaran, Labe, Niger, Tabon, and Wagadugu. One by one, the kingdoms of the
south and east rallied to Sundjata. But for every king who supported the Mandinka
prince, it seemed that Sumanguru conquered three others."
218252 "As successful as Sundjata had been, his coalition could not hope to defeat
the Sosso just yet. Sundjata needed a better plan."

218301 "A trader came to Sundjata from beyond the Sahara desert. He had a deep,
thick Arabic accent and told of great gold deposits in Sumanguru's lands."
218302 "But Sumanguru did not permit the traders access to this gold. The tyrant
gave his allies control over the gold and salt trades, leaving the merchants at
their mercy."
218303 "This trade was the flowing blood in the veins of these kingdoms. If the
blood stops flowing, the body will wither."
218304 "Sundjata thought about the merchant's words. The next day, he assembled a
band of raiders. If trade was the blood of Sumanguru's empire, then Sundjata would
drain it just as one drains an animal after a hunt."
218351 "Sundjata raided with unbridled success. With trade diverted into Mandinka
lands, allegiance to Sumanguru began to waver across his empire."
218352 "Sundjata put the gold he gained to good use, assuring that his people and
allies profited from the new riches. He had proven himself not only an able
commander, but also an able king."
218353 "With his newfound successes came greater attention though. Every city in
West Africa bellowed the name of Sundjata the Lion, King of the Mandinkas, the King
of Mali. Sumanguru could no longer afford to ignore the once-crippled prince. He
assembled a vast army for war."

218401 "A beast is most dangerous when cornered. Sumanguru was no different."
218402 "He struck southward into the Mandinka heartland, where he had slaughtered
Sundjata's family before. He was rumored to have brought his mystical balophon with
him to summon victory, and griots were already singing that the war had been won by
the sorcerer before it even began."
218403 "Sundjata met him by the Niger River, at a place called Kirina. A long line
of Sosso and Jolof warriors stood tall, banging their shields and grinning at the
soldiers of Sundjata's coalition. Horses and camels brought to the field of battle
kicked up enough sand to shroud the sun at noon."
218404 "Sumanguru himself took the field in the dusty twilight, and Sundjata faced
him from across the hot expanse. As the armies prepared to charge, the music of a
balophon began to flow through the air."
218405 "The decisive moment was at hand, and all of West Africa awaited the
victor."
218451 "The armies crashed against each other. They buckled and wrenched, bristling
serpents coiling and writhing amidst the clamor of weapons and the rumble of
hooves. Many times the Malian soldiers faltered, but at critical moments Sundjata
would ride across the lines to rally his men, inspiring them to push on and
prevail."
218452 "At long last, the Sosso onslaught slowed and their resolve began to fade.
Sensing that the tide had turned, Sumanguru abandoned his men and fled into the
mountains. At the sight of their leader in flight, the exhausted Sosso lines
collapsed."
218453 "The celebrations lasted for days, with the most bountiful feasts ever seen.
All the kings of the coalition gathered to proclaim Sundjata their Mansa, the King
of Kings. Mali had become an empire, and Sundjata its emperor."

218501 "Mali now dominated the land on both sides of the great Niger River. Mansa
Sundjata reigned freely from the gold mines of Bambuk to the city of Gao, but more
was needed to stabilize the empire."
218502 "Sumanguru fled to his stronghold of Koumbi Saleh, still wreaking havoc
wherever he could. As long as he lived, he would be a threat to the peace of the
realm."
218503 "Sundjata called upon his men once again and began a long siege of the
mighty Sosso capital and former seat of the Ghana empire. Sundjata would not be
denied this final victory."
218551 "With peace in the empire and the deaths of his family avenged, Mansa
Sundjata settled well into his role as the ruler of Mali."
218552 "In peace he was as effective an emperor as he was in war, building markets
and monuments across his lands. He was a model for all emperors to follow, making
his country a center of learning and culture at the edge of the Sahara."
218553 "And so I remain to tell his story. Balafasseke Kouyaté is my name, his
humble family historian, a griot of superb bloodline and patronage. And this is
Sumanguru's balophon, which I stole before the battle at Kirina, and played that
day to inspire the victory of Sundjata!"

// 19 - Francisco de Almeida

219101 "My captain is dead. Tell King Manuel that the red blood of Francisco de
Almeida, conqueror of the Indies, stains a white beach at the edge of his empire.
After braving Spanish knights, Berber horsemen, and Indian elephants, it was the
king's lost faith in a devoted servant that took his life's breath."
219102 "Lies they whispered in our king's ear! They called Dom Francisco mad with
lust for power, riches, and glory. Those jackals! Those men who had never set foot
on a swaying caravel in a monsoon or felt the heat of the African sun sting upon a
reddened neck!"
219103 "Was not my captain's devotion measured in the sweat and blood he poured
across three continents and three oceans?"
219104 "I was a boy when the battlefield of Toro birthed the legend of Dom
Francisco. While the last of the Moors held in Granada, the Christian kingdoms of
Iberia warred for the throne of Castile."
219105 "King Henry had died, leaving his kingdom to his daughter Juana, wife of
King Afonso of Portugal. The union of the two lands was celebrated in our country
but, for the ambition of a queen, it was not to be..."
219106 "Queen Juana's twenty-five-year-old aunt, Isabella, sought the throne for
herself. Her powerful husband, the king of Aragon, led his army into Castile to
seize the crown for his wife and unite that kingdom with his own. The armies of
Aragon and Portugal met near the city of Toro to decide the fate of three
kingdoms..."
219151 "Despite the successes of Dom Francisco and Prince Juan, the Battle of Toro
was indecisive. After three more years of war, a compromise was reached."
219152 "Isabella was crowned Queen of Castile, joining that kingdom with Aragon
into a unified Spain. In exchange, the wise King Afonso, attuned to the changing
times, received Spanish assurances that the African coast and the waters and lands
to the East were a Portuguese dominion."

219201 "I began my journey with Dom Francisco two decades ago in Morocco. Thirteen
years had passed since the Battle of Toro and the grizzled soldier had risen to be
an esteemed counselor to King Juan. Courtly life did not suit my captain well,
however. He convinced the king to send him to Africa to fight the Moors."
219202 "King Afonso had conquered the Tangier coast before the war with Aragon but
Portugal's hold on Muslim Africa was tenuous. Barbary pirates menaced the coast and
Berber tribesmen emerged from the lifeless deserts in fierce raids."
219203 "Against these predators stood a fragile outpost of Christendom on an island
in the Loukkos River. The garrison was led by a soldier named Afonso de Albuquerque
whose path would cross with ours again in a different world. My captain set sail to
take command of this garrison and re-establish Portugal's hold on Tangier."
219204 "It would not be the last time that Dom Francisco carried the flag of
Portugal to the dangerous edges of the Christian world."
219251 "While we fought the centuries-old war against the Moors in North Africa,
other sons of Portugal were the pioneers of a new age. On small leaky caravels,
they took the first daring steps from Europe and lifted the shroud that had
obscured our understanding of the wider world for a millennium."
219252 "The world was vast, far vaster than we had ever imagined, but men like
Bartolomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama reached distant shores and gave us the first
glimmers of a coming global empire."
219253 "The Turks and Moors might flash their scimitars over the Mediterranean, but
they wore no armor on their backs. There, in the Indian Ocean, an ancient trade
flourished to the enrichment of the Muslim world."
219254 "Armed with cannons and ships built to withstand the storms of the Atlantic,
the sons of Portugal would fall upon this world like a famished lion in the fold."

219301 "It was five years ago that I went with Dom Francisco to the Indies. His
appointment to the Viceroyship of India by the young King Manuel had shocked the
Portuguese court. Dom Francisco was the champion of King Juan, the deceased cousin
of the recently crowned king, and the Almeidas had favored a rival claimant to the
Portuguese throne."
219302 "The king's intentions were the topic of many hushed whispers."
219303 "We sailed for many months across the edge of the world, preyed upon by
pirates, storms, and disease. But as our leaky ships rounded the southern cape of
Africa, we saw the first glimmers of the riches of the Orient."
219304 "Three mighty citadels guarded the lucrative trade waters of the Swahili
coast where merchants traded ivory, gold, spices, and jewels from the innards of
Africa to the fringes of faraway China."
219305 "Weathered by the long voyage, Dom Francisco sought trade and hospitality
from the first of these citadels, but her stubborn ruler, a usurper who had slain
the rightful sultan, arrogantly closed his gates to us."
219306 "Finding an exiled African prince with ties to a rebel army, my captain
cunningly hatched a plan to take the Swahili coast by fire and steel."
219351 "Empires are built on the ruins of dead empires. The pile of burnt stone we
left in Mombasa, once a palace, was the foundation for the new Empire of Portugal."
219352 "Our conquest of the Swahili coast sent waves across the Indian Ocean to the
wealthy trading cities of Zanzibar, Mogadishu, Calicut, and others. We were met
with either fearful gifts or the closed gates of those with the foolishness to
challenge our cannons."
219353 "Few would continue to make that mistake."

219401 "After months at sea, we reached our goal: the rich Malabar coast of India,
land of a thousand gods, and a haven for spices, gold, and silver. In the brackish
lagoons of Kerala, among temples dedicated to strange serpent gods, we established
our trading posts in the cities of Cannanore and Cochin."
219402 "From these cities, my captain and his son Lourenco cunningly manipulated
the feuding rajas and sultans. They maneuvered through the politics of spice and
faith, always with an eye for the most profitable outcome. One Hindu prince,
however, defied us."
219403 "This nameless ruler of Calicut, known only by the title 'the Zamorin',
threatened to break the carefully crafted deals and rivalries from which Portugal
profited. By sword and shrewd tongue, giving no credence to differences of religion
or race, he gained allies in the rajas, in the sultans, and in rulers as far away
as Egypt and Venice."
219404 "Even our own allies among the Indians fell for his intrigue. The
treacherous Kolathiri Raja, prince of Cannanore, betrayed us for the Zamorin's
gold. Surrounded by enemies, it seemed that the hands of fate had turned so quickly
against us."
219451 "Though the Zamorin limped away from Cannanore bloodied, his resolve was
untouched by our cannons."
219452 "In driving men to war, gold can be more powerful than God. For centuries,
the wealth of the Indies had passed through the Indian Ocean, carried by Arab,
Indian, and Somali merchants to the port cities of Arabia, Egypt, and Africa. From
there, endless caravans carried wealth across the desert to Alexandria and then to
Istanbul, Venice, and Genoa."
219453 "By rounding Africa, Portuguese traders had upset the traditional balance of
this world. With our forts in India, we cut the trade that had enriched the Muslim
sultans and the Venetian doge alike. Dom Francisco held a knife to the throats of
our enemies and as the lion fed, vultures and jackals appeared."

219501 "We had taken the other side of the world by storm but our old enemies
followed."
219502 "As the Zamorin beat his war drums, Ottomans and Egyptians rallied to him.
Their ships were carried over the desert and rebuilt by treacherous Venetians. In
India, an unlikely Russian renegade called Malik Ayyaz raised the Muslim armies of
Gujarat in defense of the Hindu Zamorin. Gold had truly become more powerful than
God."
219503 "As this coalition of Hindus, Muslims, and Christians descended on us, liars
and jackals flocked to the court of King Manuel. They filled his ears with lies
that Dom Francisco had betrayed Portugal and convinced the young king to dispatch
an Armada led by Afonso de Albuquerque to relieve my captain of the Viceroyship."
219504 "Dom Francisco, however, was in no mood for politics."
219505 "Tragedy struck off the coast of Chaul. In a heroic naval battle, my
captain's beloved son Lourenco was slain by Amir Husain, admiral of the Mamluk
fleet of Egypt. Though he deeply loved his son, Dom Francisco did not shed tears
for his death. In repayment, my captain vowed to shed blood."
219551 "With his son's death avenged, Dom Francisco surrendered the viceroyship of
India and wrote his final chapter. He would not return to his beloved Portugal.
Landing in southern Africa to collect water, his party was ambushed by the Khoikhoi
natives. We found his body on that forsaken white beach."
219552 "In the five years since we departed Lisbon, we followed Dom Francisco to
the edge of the earth. We fought ebony-skinned warriors in the jungles and
savannahs of Africa, battled Mamluk sailors on the decks of galleys heaving in the
monsoon waves, and struggled against armies of elephants and camels in the
sprawling cities of India."
219553 "Our caravels had taken us to the distant shores unknown to our ancestors
and awoken Europe to a world beyond our dreams."

// 20 - Yodit

220101 "Aksum - the heart of our empire and the cradle of Ethiopian civilization.
Even so, every time our caravan stops here to sell its wares, the city seems less
grand: more roofs need thatching, fewer shops are open, and even the shouts of the
hawkers are ever so slightly less audible."
220102 "My son doesn't notice, of course. Ever since we entered the city, the boy
has stared in awe at every building. It is a marvelous sight for a country lad
living in the northern highlands."
220103 "As we passed a church, a set of golden curtains caught his eye. 'Father,
have you ever seen such a treasure? Why does nobody guard it - are they not afraid
of thieves?' I could not help but smile. 'Why hire strong-arms when even the queen
dares not take them?' A deep frown creased my son's brow."
220104 "The boy apparently did not know the story of his ruler yet. 'Forty years
ago, when our queen Yodit was but a princess, she discovered the very reason why
those curtains do not need any guards...'"
220105 "'Yodit was truly beautiful. Every lord in the empire competed for her hand,
much to the displeasure of Gidajan, her nephew and the heir to the throne. Gidajan
devised a plan to be rid of her: in the night he stole the golden curtains and hid
them in her room.'"
220106 "'When the palace guard discovered the treasure, she was locked in the
deepest cells. Luckily, there were some who refused to believe the accusations. One
loyal captain named Samuel helped her escape through a secret tunnel.'"
220151 "My son smiled when he heard of Yodit's escape. 'As long as she stayed in
the Aksumite Empire, however, Yodit would never be safe from prince Gidajan.'"
220152 "'Her journey had merely begun...'"

220201 "Despite the late hour, the market of Aksum was still crowded. Vendors
shouted from several wooden stalls, describing their goods: bolts of silk from the
Far East, olibanum incense from Arabia, bracelets made from Egyptian glass, our own
Ethiopian ivory ..."
220202 "Tired of browsing the stalls, we sat down on a low wall next to a shop.
'Father', Daniel said. 'Will you please tell me the rest of Yodit's story?' Despite
my fatigue, I decided to entertain the boy."
220203 "'Yodit traveled north for many years, searching for someone who could help
her seek revenge for the humiliation she had suffered at the hands of Gidajan.
Eventually, when making camp near the border of Egypt, the princess heard a rumor
that perhaps presented the opportunity she had been awaiting.'"
220204 "'The Syrian prince Zanobis was traveling the region, looking for a suitable
bride. But how could she, an exiled princess, convince such a powerful man?'"
220251 "'Of course, Zanobis was impressed by Yodit's achievements. He sought after
this famous princess and asked her to marry him'. Daniel responded: 'Queen Yodit is
truly a strong woman, Father, but how did she...' I quickly raised my hand to stop
him: 'No, son. No more questions now.'"
220252 "'It will soon be dark and we need to return to the inn. A meal will do us
both much good. Perhaps I shall tell you about one of her great victories before
going to bed.'"

220301 "The trade mission in Aksum was quite successful. I sold all of my grain and
bought some casks of wine, olive oil and spices. Those goods would be sure to fetch
a good price at home."
220302 "I looked up from the accounts and rubbed my eyes, tired from reading by the
light of a single candle. 'Everything alright with the camels?' I said to greet the
boy. He nodded. I offered him a cup of tea and responded: 'Let me tell you more
about Yodit before we turn in.'"
220303 "'After marrying prince Zanobis, Yodit had to be patient for her vengeance.
Her husband had to become king and build a larger army if they ever were to defeat
the mighty Aksumite Empire.'"
220304 "'Five years had passed since Zanobis had taken the throne when Yodit
learned that the Aksumite king, Dagnajan, was planning a military expedition to the
east. If she could send an elite force to ambush and kill Dagnajan, the Aksumite
empire would be severely crippled.'"
220351 "'When the news of Dagnajan's death reached the city of Aksum, both of his
sons tried to seize the throne for themselves.'"
220352 "'A civil war broke out and the once-mighty empire began to crumble. Of
course, Yodit...', a soft snoring drew my attention to my son. The lad was already
sleeping."

220401 "Outside the northern gates the camels groaned, irritated by the traders
mounting the animals to begin the long journey back to the Ethiopian highlands."
220402 "Drivers urged the large caravan forward with loud shouts and cracking
whips. As I took my place next to my boy, the sun slowly began to rise above the
hills. Not far from the gate, we passed a field of great stone stelae. Some stood
tall, reaching for the sky, but most lay toppled, their pieces scattered over the
ground."
220403 "'Father', Daniel asked, looking up at a towering stele, 'when we entered
the city you told me that these stones marked the graves of ancient kings. Is
Dagnajan buried here as well?' I shook my head. 'No, my son. Those kings are long
dead, and the body of Dagnajan was never recovered. His two sons were far too busy
trying to slay each other.'"
220404 "'While the Aksumite Empire was divided by civil war, Yodit ordered a fleet
to be built. An invading force would cross the Red Sea and strike hard at Massawa,
the most important harbor of the empire.'"
220451 "'Although Gidajan had managed to kill his brother and take the throne in
the meantime, he had also lost the north to Yodit. Soon, she would advance to the
capital for the final battle.'"
220452 "Before I could dispel Daniel's youthful naiveté about warfare, shouts arose
from the front of the caravan to stop for the night."

220501 "The caravan had stopped at the top of a hill after a long day of traveling.
Some merchants sat around the campfire, sharing wineskins and roasting a goat.
Others were already pitching their tents. Up here, the nights could be very cold."
220502 "Daniel had just finished his portion of goat. 'Father, would you finally
tell me how Yodit became queen of Aksum?' Before I could respond, Tariku, an old,
lean merchant with white hair, stood up. He stared fiercely at my son with his one
eye. 'So you want to hear about our good queen, lad?'"
220503 "'Tariku fought against Yodit's troops in Aksum', I whispered to my son.
Daniel could only nod to the one-eyed man. 'Thirty years ago', Tariku began
solemnly, 'I was patrolling the northern hills of Aksum when suddenly I saw a sea
of banners in the distance.'"
220504 "'The sun reflected upon rows of armored men. Yodit had finally arrived to
destroy the cradle of Ethiopian civilization! I shivered, for her fury was
legendary...'"
220551 "'I saw how Gidajan finally fell, his body covered with blood. He was wrong
to kill his brother, yes, but he was the rightful heir to the throne! I tried to
defend my homeland from disaster and lost my eye for it. A small price for such an
honor.'"
220552 "'Now you remember this well, boy. Yodit's rise to the throne was not some
glorious adventure - it was a bloody mess.' The old man leaned back, sighing."
220553 "Glancing at my son, I noticed that he suddenly seemed older than he had
this morning. Nobody dared to whisper another word."

// 21 - Gajah Mada

221101 "What drives a king to expand his rule to the very edge of the unknown? Why
are his people willing to sacrifice their livelihoods and even their lives for a
ruler who sits on an ivory throne?"
221102 "The legends of our ancestors, and the greatness they achieved, drive us
forward. All in Asia have heard of the great Srivijaya Empire - a grand power of
the past that ruled all of the Indonesian islands. We dream to one day surpass
these legends."
221103 "In our culture, we hold the kancil, a tiny mouse deer, the highest among
the animals. Foreigners laugh mockingly at our reverence for such a benign
creature, but they know nothing of the kancil's heart."
221104 "Despite its unimpressive appearance, the kancil can overcome any obstacle
and defeat much larger adversaries through sheer cunning. Its bravery is like that
of no other animal."
221105 "Our people are like the kancil. Our enemies underestimate and mock us, but
we will show them our true spirit. For that reason, the story of our empire's
founder, Arya Wiraraja, is revered among our people. When faced with a Mongol
invasion, he built an empire from a tiny village..."
221151 "I heard the story of Arya Wiraraja many times when I was a child. Through
the cunning of the kancil, he defeated both his Javanese overlords and the mighty
Mongols."
221152 "Now, Arya did not do this alone. I have always believed that the gods
favored him and his descendants."
221153 "That is why I, Gajah Mada, commander of the elite guard of the Majapahit
kings, have sworn to serve the royal family until my last breath."

221201 "My longstanding fear that quarrels within the court would threaten its
collapse has come to pass. Treacherous warriors draw their karambits at the palace
gates as I speak."
221202 "A nobleman called Rakrian Kuti has betrayed the king and now lays siege to
the royal palace. Fortunately, his treachery has not spread throughout the empire.
The prime minister, Arya Tadah, remains loyal, and we have joined our forces to
free the king and crush the rebellion."
221203 "Let us hope that there is still enough time to save our king."
221251 "We crushed the rebellion and executed the leaders. To celebrate our
victory, the king threw a great festival, and the poets sang of his courage and
ferocity in the face of danger."
221252 "Nevertheless, I am beginning to doubt my king. He believes that he is
untouchable and acts immorally, desiring the wives and daughters of his
subordinates. Even his most loyal supporters have begun to hate him."
221253 "Tribhuwana, the king's stepsister, has even told me that the king now shows
a dubious interest in her."
221254 "With such behavior, it is only a matter of time before something bad will
happen to my king."

221301 "As I feared, our king died this afternoon from an unknown illness."
221302 "In his stead, Tribhuwana became queen regent. Her first act as queen was to
retire the prime minister and give his position to me."
221303 "Without hesitation, I swore an oath in front of everyone. I would not
indulge in any pleasures until I had conquered the entire Indonesian archipelago
for the glory of the Majapahit!"
221351 "Even my closest friends doubted me, but I proved my worth. One by one, our
mighty armies and majestic fleets conquered the surrounding islands."
221352 "From Bali, the island of the gods, to the old ruins of the Srivijaya
Empire... all now answer to the Majapahit Empire, just as I said they would..."

221401 "Time is a cruel mistress as I grow older and older."


221402 "The queen abdicated so that her son, Hayam Wuruk, could take the throne.
This does not affect my ambitions. My work is not complete as long as my oath is
not fulfilled. Majapahit's navy will go east, towards the small but rich tropical
islands of the archipelago."
221403 "They are as many as the stars in the sky, but they too will recognize my
authority...and that of Majapahit's rightful king, of course."
221451 "Never before has an empire controlled so much of Indonesia. The Majapahit
Empire is truly blessed and its reputation spreads. Emissaries from China and India
come to our capital bearing gifts in recognition of our power."
221452 "All that remains is to take the last remaining kingdom on the island of
Java. The Sunda kingdom is a thorn in my side and should not be allowed to exist
any longer. My king maintains good relations with Sunda, but I am determined to be
rid of them! My oath must be fulfilled!"

221501 "While I was watching the dancers in the royal gardens, a plan came to me
that will ensure the downfall of the Sunda. An arranged marriage between my king
and one of their princesses will cause the Sunda to lower their guard. I will then
force them, under threat of destruction, to submit to my king's rule. It is a plot
worthy of the cunning kancil!"
221502 "My king has ordered me to go to Bubat Square in our capital to welcome the
princess and escort her and her family to our palace. For my plan to succeed, not
even the king can know of the plot."
221503 "The Sunda will protest, but with their whole royal family in our city,
surrounded by my soldiers, they will have no choice but to submit."
221551 "At first, all went according to my plan. My army surrounded the Sunda royal
family and I ordered them to surrender their weapons. I was convinced that they
would comply."
221552 "To my surprise, instead of surrendering, the Sunda drew their weapons and
attacked my army, even though they were vastly outnumbered. I tried in vain to stop
the fighting, but the Sunda were destroyed and my plot crumbled into dust."
221553 "My own king and his family - the family that I have spent my entire life
serving - were disgusted by my actions. When the king summoned me, I could see the
disappointment and loathing in his eyes. In tears, he told me that his bride-to-be
had committed suicide, and that I had ruined the reputation of our empire."
221554 "Many in the Majapahit Empire wanted me dead, but because of my long years
of service, the king spared my life. Instead, I was to resign and to withdraw to a
small mansion in the countryside. Death would have been a less harsh punishment
than having to live with this shame."
221555 "And so, here I am. A lonely old man, once ambitious and young, now trapped
in this secluded place. I realize that I was not clever, like the kancil, but
rather greedy and blind, like the animals that it misleads. The assassination of
the first king, the removal of the prime minister, all of the schemes that I
planned and conspired... I let nothing come in the way of my ambitions..."
221556 "...and now I pay the price..."

// 22 - Suryavarman

222101 "Forward march! We do not stop until the sun falls beneath the tree line."
222102 "I am Sangrama, honored general of the Khmer Empire, tasked with quelling a
rebellion. Just a year after the passing of the revered Suryavarman, his successor
faces staunch opposition. This chaos threatens to dismantle the empire that took
nearly five decades to build."
222103 "Inspiring an army of largely levy soldiery is difficult. Most are simple
farmers and craftsmen, strangers to the ways of war and the grim chaos of battle.
They should understand the cause for which they fight."
222104 "As we trudged through the mud, I summoned the captains to the front of the
line. I told them of the events that occurred before many of them were born. They
would use this knowledge to inspire their men to fight."
222105 "Suryavarman was once little more than a magnate with a minor claim to the
throne held by another. Udayadityavarman I had established his seat in Angkor,
claiming the entire empire as his dominion."
222106 "Gathering his army, Suryavarman marched on Angkor from the west,
establishing a camp not far from the city."
222151 "The captains listened eagerly as I gave my account of the usurpation.
Despite a numerical disadvantage, Suryavarman's tactical acumen proved critical to
the success of such a risky offensive. Droves of Udayadityavarman's troops fell to
Suryavarman's disciplined infantry and elephant corps."
222152 "Entering Angkor, Suryavarman gave the order to his disciplined army that
the city was to be left intact, the civilians unharmed. He would not begin his rule
by committing acts of savage tyranny upon his own people."

222201 "Ascent to power does not come easily. Once the head of one beast is
removed, three spring to take its place. Thus it was with Suryavarman's enemies."
222202 "Rebel factions sprung up to the north, east, and south of Angkor. Legions
of disgruntled soldiers marched on the city, threatening to topple Suryavarman just
as quickly as he had ascended to power."
222203 "The most dangerous rebel faction was led by Jayaviravarman, a warlord from
Malaysia with a distant claim to the throne. Advancing from the south at a rapid
pace, he acquired much support from the local populace."
222204 "Suryavarman had to act quickly. The rebel forces, were they to unite, would
present quite a challenge to an army that had only recently emerged victorious from
a grueling campaign."
222205 "There was precious little time to spare."
222251 "Humans are interesting creatures. At times they display incredible
brilliance, and yet at others they behave like obstinate fools!"
222252 "One can only wonder at the folly that caused the rebel factions to not
coordinate their forces. A bundle of sticks is difficult to break, but individual
twigs snap with ease."
222253 "Suryavarman's victory assured that his soldiers would not forget this
lesson."

222301 "As the empire boomed, its neighbors became wary. They knew that a growing
tiger will gorge itself on the prey that it deems most vulnerable."
222302 "Some dreaded the looming war and prayed that their fears were unjustified.
Others prepared for it. The Kingdom of Tambralinga, a vassal of the great
Srivijayan thalassocracy, felt particularly threatened by Suryavarman's ambition."
222303 "The empire was surrounded by hostile neighbors and conflict was imminent!
It seemed that the only thing left to question was who would strike first.
Suryavarman was wise enough to know that passivity would only lead to disaster."
222304 "The various Burmese kingdoms to the west of the empire were hostile, but a
potential ally lay beyond. The Cholas, a powerful dynasty based in the south of the
Indian subcontinent, also desired to bring about the downfall of the Srivijaya."
222305 "Dispatching an envoy laden with gifts could be enough to convince Rajendra
Chola that an alliance with Suryavarman would be to his liking."
222351 "Despite the hardships of the journey through hostile territory, the
diplomatic convoy arrived in Chola lands largely intact. Rajendra Chola was pleased
with the gifts that the envoy lavished upon him."
222352 "Particularly impressive was the grand chariot, a work fashioned by the
finest craftsmen in Angkor! Generous offerings and well-chosen words go a long way
with a magnanimous ruler."
222353 "A bargain was struck, and the envoy returned to Angkor bearing news of the
alliance."

222401 "With the alliance made and the pieces on the board, conflict was
inevitable. The Tambralingas themselves posed only a token threat, but they had the
support of the immense naval empire of Srivijaya."
222402 "The prowess of the Srivijayan navy was unmatched, but their coalition was
at a strategic disadvantage. The Khmer forces threatened the enemy by land from the
north and by sea from the east, while the Cholas struck out from the west. The
enemy found themselves surrounded on all sides."
222403 "Suryavarman sent word to the Chola force to establish a foothold on the
Malay Peninsula. Taking the initiative, he ordered the outfitting of a massive navy
to challenge the Srivijayans and Tambralingas for maritime supremacy."
222404 "Everything hinged on the success of the Chola force that had landed on the
mainland. If they could present a formidable enough threat and occupy the enemy
land forces, Suryavarman would be able to wrest control of the water and launch a
devastating amphibious invasion."
222405 "If the Cholas were driven from their foothold, the Khmer would be forced to
face down their opponents alone--a prospect that Suryavarman preferred not to
contemplate."
222451 "Storms raged as wooden vessels rammed into one another, a deafening sound
prefaced by the whistling of projectiles through the air. Thousands of men sank
below the angry waves, never to rise again."
222452 "The Chola land force fought bravely, holding to the last. Just as it seemed
that they were to be defeated by the Tambralinga-Srivijaya force, salvation arrived
in the form of swarms of Khmer."
222453 "Victory has a glorious taste. Over the course of a single conflict, the
influence and power of the empire were raised to unprecedented levels."

222501 "With the maritime rivals of the empire crushed, Suryavarman set his sights
on the mainland. As the war with the Tambralinga-Srivijaya alliance had progressed,
it had not escaped his attention that rivals closer to home had been plotting and
wishing for his ruin."
222502 "The rulers of the various Burmese and Cham kingdoms slunk around in the
shadows like disgraced cowards. Instead of recognizing the superiority of their
larger neighbor, they deviously plotted its downfall and encouraged rebellion
within it!"
222503 "This behavior was unacceptable. Suryavarman's enemies may have been too
intimidated to face the Khmer juggernaut head-on, but Suryavarman had no
reservations about challenging his neighbors."
222504 "It was high time that the empire saw further expansion. The Mekong and Chao
Phraya rivers snaked through rich, fertile lands held by decadent, unstable
kingdoms ripe for conquest."
222505 "Triumph would add yet another achievement to Suryavarman's legendary
military record."
222551 "Hegemony is a wonderful thing. The power and prestige of the Khmer Empire
reached new levels under Suryavarman I, and all prospered."
222552 "Despite being known as a great conqueror, Suryavarman was not simply a
militaristic aggressor. His reign was marked by vast improvements in the general
infrastructure of the empire and an emphasis on religious toleration."
222553 "He erected numerous palaces and temple complexes and ruled benevolently.
His legacy lives through these structures, the pride of our citizens, and the
strength of the Khmer Empire."
222554 "This legacy is a cause worth defending. It is this notion of greatness that
you must invoke to electrify the minds of the common soldiery."

// 23 - Bayinnaung

223101 "1538 AD. Year eight of the reign of King Tabinshwehti."


223102 "Over two decades ago, an old village shaman came to our little mountain
kingdom of Toungoo. He claimed to speak with the nats, the ancestral spirits
worshiped by our people before the coming of Buddhism."
223103 "The nats had told the shaman that an ancient warrior prince would be
reincarnated in our kingdom. This prince would rule as the Cakkavatti, the
universal ruler embodying Buddhist virtue. Soon after, the king had a son named
Tabinshwehti."
223104 "At the same time, a servant girl also had a son, and she was made the
newborn prince's wet nurse. I know this story well, as I am the son of that servant
girl and was raised alongside my future king. Thus the nats joined the fates of a
king and a servant."
223105 "My mother is not so sure Tabinshwehti is who the nats spoke of. She says
the nats are tricky spirits who mislead with their blessings. But I tell my mother
I am no prince! Only King Tabinshwehti can lead our small kingdom against our
enemies!"
223106 "And our enemies are many. Our lands are under attack by the Shan, a warrior
people from the far north. Our walls cannot stop them so we attack south, to gain a
stronger foothold in Hanthawaddy."
223107 "The nats bring fear into the heart of the Hanthawaddy king. He flees to his
allies just as a frightened buffalo runs to his herd after smelling a tiger. The
king and I are the Burmese tigers, chasing after that buffalo!"
223151 "To reward my service in battle, my king bestowed a name of great honor upon
me: 'Bayinnaung', which means 'King's Elder Brother'. Though he is a king and I am
but the son of a servant girl, he embraced me and declared a shared blood!"
223152 "I am no longer a simple servant. I am Bayinnaung. I am a prince."

223201 "1543 AD. Year thirteen of the reign of King Tabinshwehti."


223202 "Our conquest of Lower Burma has brought fear to the Shan warlords. They
call upon their allies, the Kingdom of Ava and the mighty Rakhine people, to raise
armies against us."
223203 "My king and I march north to Upper Burma, following the pilgrimage trail to
Pagan, city of 10,000 temples. From this city, the ancient kings of Pagan once
ruled over a united Burmese people. If my king is to rule all of Burma, he must be
crowned in Pagan."
223204 "I will march ahead of my king to secure the ancient city and prepare for
the coronation. With my help and the blessings of the nats, my brother will fulfill
his prophesied destiny."
223251 "Our kingdom is mighty under King Tabinshwehti. The greatest monks,
warriors, and administrators in all of Burma come to our court. The king has made
me his chief minister but I worry for my brother."
223252 "A man from distant Portugal has stumbled into the court and intrigued the
king with his foreign ways and bottles of strong wine. I fear that the blessed path
that we have walked together will come to a cursed end."

223301 "1550 AD. Year twenty of the reign of King Tabinshwehti."


223302 "I am the chief minister of a kingdom without a king."
223303 "The man from Portugal has corrupted King Tabinshwehti. My lord has taken to
drinking and forgotten both the ways of Buddhism and the blessings of the nats. He
leaves with the foreigner for weeks at a time on long, wine-filled hunting
trips. Even when he is in court, the king orders executions in drunken fits!"
223304 "Many of the kingdom's officials have pleaded with me to depose the king and
rule Burma justly. But though I love my country, I cannot betray my brother!"
223305 "I should have known rebellion would come. A monk named Htaw, brother of the
dead Hanthawaddy king, incites a revolt in the south. The king is leaving on yet
another hunting trip but he has ordered me to take the army to defeat this rebel."
223306 "I will follow my king's instructions but I am concerned. A minister named
Sawhtut is eager to see me leave. I do not know what trouble he has brewing."
223351 "Sawhtut paid two swordsmen of the king's bodyguard to enter my brother's
tent as he slept. Their pockets heavy with the traitor's gold, they drew their
swords and beheaded my brother. His body was found by a monk and quietly cremated.
I would throw away this crown if it brought my brother back but he is among the
nats now."
223352 "The nats were tricky just as my mother told me. They took my brother from
me. I should not be king. I should not be the Cakkavatti, but the nats made it so.
I reject them."

223401 "1563 AD. Year thirteen of the reign of Bayinnaung, king of Burma."
223402 "The tiger rules the forest but he is always hungry. It is the same with me
as I look to the Thai kingdoms of the East. I have ruled for thirteen years but how
am I the Cakkavatti if I am only king of Burma?"
223403 "Ayutthaya is the strongest of the Thai kingdoms. Her king, Chakkraphat, has
defied me for too long! He encourages the rebellion of one of my vassals, the king
of Lan Na. Even now, he sends his daughter to marry the ruler of the kingdom of Lan
Xang, in exchange for an alliance against me!"
223404 "But these schemes alone do not drive me to war. I know that Chakkraphat has
seven white elephants, a symbol of luck and divine favor. Already, I hear the
murmurs in the court. People with more spirit than sense whisper that if I truly am
the Cakkavatti, why would the nats have blessed Chakkraphat with the elephants?"
223405 "I cannot allow this Thai king nor the nats themselves to defy me! I will
send my armies east but they will not just bring war. I will send Buddhist monks
with them to carry the word of my blessed Buddhist rule."
223451 "I have conquered my enemies and made them bow before me. I have purged the
land of the nats, building stupas and monasteries where once the spirits ruled."
223452 "I am the Conqueror of the Ten Directions. I am master of all between the
foothills of Tibet and the waters of Malacca, between the plains of India and the
mountain jungle of Vietnam."
223453 "The kings of Sri Lanka and Portugal send me gifts from across the ocean.
The emperors of India and China call me their equal. My life will be written in the
legends of three nations for centuries."
223454 "I am Bayinnaung. I am the Cakkavatti."

223501 "1580 AD. Year thirty of the reign of the Cakkavatti."


223502 "Though the tiger grows old, his hunger does not leave him. It grows with
age, driving him to fresh hunting grounds and giving him a taste for more dangerous
prey!"
223503 "For thirty years, I have ruled Burma and made a dozen kings bow before me.
But what will they say of my life? That I ruled by the sword and killed many men?
That I, a king, was a slave to my desire? The Old Tiger is stubborn but he knows
when his hunger has gotten the best of him."
223504 "My sons lead the army to conquer the Rakhine coast: the gateway to India.
They are like their father once, chasing in vain across the earth for their
greatest victory..."
223551 "My father did not live to see the conquest of the Rakhine."
223552 "The doctor claimed the lung sickness took his life, but I know my father.
No man who rode a charging elephant into throngs of Shan archers, who stormed the
cities of the Thai, or who ruled an empire not seen since the ancient days would
die from a mere cough!"
223553 "No. My father left this world because he chose to. There was only one
conquest left worthy of a man like Bayinnaung."
223554 "I know legends will be told of him. I know old shamans will tell
prophesies. But no deed would match his final act. Greater in battle than the man
who would conquer a thousand men is he who would conquer just one - himself."

// 24 - Le Loi

224101 "The kingdom of Dai Viet is no more. A storm came from the north and plunged
the land into darkness."
224102 "Torn apart by civil war, the kingdom drew the hungry eyes of the Ming
emperor. He sent an immense force armed with weapons of fire and smoke to conquer
Dai Viet. The Vietnamese people stood no chance against such a menace."
224103 "Foreign soldiers entered the villages and occupied the land. While the
Vietnamese aristocracy collaborated and prospered, the common people suffered. The
invaders imposed harsh taxes on the people and destroyed many of the holy places.
The Vietnamese needed a hero, and that hero was Le Loi."
224104 "Although the son of a nobleman himself, Le Loi despised the aristocracy who
had sided with the enemy. When the Chinese came, he fled north to the lands of his
family. There, in the hills, he was outside the reach of the Chinese while he
organized the resistance."
224105 "Vastly outnumbered by the large Ming army, Le Loi knew he could not defeat
them in open battle, and so he turned to guerrilla warfare. He raided Ming camps to
steal supplies and gave them to the starving farmers."
224106 "Le Loi's resistance could only succeed through planting the seeds of
rebellion in his people."
224151 "The resistance began slowly and with only minor successes, but Le Loi's
reputation grew each day. The people started calling him 'The Peacemaking King' and
wanted to see him on the throne of the old kingdom."
224152 "The Ming heard rumors of this rebel king and vowed to crush him before his
seeds of rebellion could take root."

224201 "Disaster struck the Vietnamese rebels when the Ming defeated them in battle
and forced them to retreat to the Chi Linh mountain fortress. Encircled by a large
Chinese army and with no hope of help from the outside, Le Loi's situation became
grim."
224202 "Supplies would not last long and the Ming cannons had already begun to
batter the old walls of the fortress. The end of Le Loi and his rebellion seemed
imminent..."
224251 "Just as defeat seemed inevitable, Le Loi's second in command, Le Lai, and
his men sacrificed their lives to save what was left of the Vietnamese Rebellion.
They mounted their horses and led a final charge right into the Ming besiegers. In
the ensuing confusion, Le Loi and the rest of the army escaped through the
fortress' drainage system."
224252 "One witness who saw the charge said that he saw the spirits of the
Vietnamese ancestors riding along Le Lai and his men as they plunged into the lines
of Ming pikes."
224253 "It was a sad day for Le Loi and the Vietnamese. They had lost much and all
that remained of the resistance was smoldering ashes and dead bodies."
224254 "However, the tale of Chi Linh spread throughout Vietnam and lit the spark
of resistance. The Vietnamese people were no longer willing to tolerate the Ming
occupation."

224301 "People from all over Vietnam came to Le Loi - even veterans of old
forgotten wars and boys barely old enough to carry weapons. Le Loi needed to use
the momentum of the rebellion to deal a decisive blow to the Ming forces."
224302 "The rebel army would strike at the old capital of Hanoi..."
224351 "Hanoi was captured and now all of the southern Ming occupation forces were
cut off from China. The Chinese emperor was furious with the failure of his
generals."
224352 "Therefore, he sent his most capable general, Wang Tong, to Vietnam. Wang
was a veteran of many wars against the nomads of the north and a brilliant
tactician. If anyone would be able to challenge Le Loi, it would be him."

224401 "With Hanoi under Le Loi's control, the Chinese retreated behind the walls
of the larger towns and cities of the south. There, they would wait for Wang Tong,
the approaching Ming general."
224402 "Le Loi had to act quickly, but he could not underestimate the Ming. The
garrisons had large stockpiles of gunpowder and Wang Tong's army marched at a
frantic pace to reach the besieged cities."
224403 "Le Loi had to quickly turn his peasant rabble into a real army that could
face the finest Ming soldiers in open battle."
224451 "After capturing a major citadel with its gunpowder stores intact, Le Loi
was able to take several key towns and hold off Wang Tong and his army."
224452 "Wang Tong knew that his position was poor, and so he retreated to
strengthen his supply lines and replenish his forces. For now, there would be no
battle. Le Loi marched further south with Wang Tong and his army following closely,
and gaining strength..."

224501 "Under Le Loi's leadership, the Vietnamese rebellion turned from a rabble of
peasants to a real army. Their warships lined up like clouds, their armor shone
against the sun, their firearms piled up, and their gunpowder stockpiles were full.
Finally, Le Loi would be able to face the full brunt of the Ming forces."
224502 "Wang Tong had been close on Le Loi's tail, watching his every move like a
stalking tiger, waiting for Le Loi to make a mistake. Le Loi did not have the
luxury of time - every week he waited, more Ming soldiers would arrive. He needed
to consolidate his holdings quickly."
224503 "Despite the risk, Le Loi split his troops to deal with the Ming garrisons,
the northern army, and the hostile tribes to the west. This was the moment Wang
Tong had been waiting for, and the tiger pounced on the divided and vulnerable
Vietnamese forces..."
224551 "Against all odds, Le Loi's generals held off the Ming army. The Chinese
lost many soldiers and even one of their generals. These losses meant that they
would never again hold the advantage in the war. The Ming could only defend their
remaining holdings from Le Loi's inevitable victory."
224552 "Without more Chinese troops, not even a general as talented as Wang Tong
would be able to stop the Vietnamese army."

224601 "Dong Do was the last fortress in Ming hands. Wang Tong sent for aid, but
reinforcements would not be able to reach him easily while Le Loi held the north
and the coastlines. Still, Wang Tong's fortress was well-fortified and well-
supplied."
224602 "If this fortress could hold out long enough, a new Ming army, now marching
from China, would break the Vietnamese army and send Le Loi and his men back into
the hills."
224603 "The war was only one battle away from being over, and the fate of Vietnam
hung in the balance."
224651 "The Ming were defeated on the battlefield and their last fortress fell. Le
Loi and Wang Tong met for the first time and agreed to a truce. It was apparent
that the two had great respect for each other."
224652 "The remaining Ming soldiers, numbering more than 80,000, were now at the
mercy of the Vietnamese. Le Loi was lenient, however, and spared their lives. He
invited the Ming generals to a lavish banquet and allowed all of the Ming soldiers
to return to China unharmed. He even provided ships to transport them and released
all prisoners that were taken in the war."
224653 "Le Loi knew that the Ming emperor would never give up while his honor was
at stake. To make sure the emperor would not lose face and to secure the future of
Vietnam, he sent lavish gifts to the emperor and offered Dai Viet as an independent
tributary state of the Ming."
224654 "It was a small price to pay for peace and stability. Le Loi became emperor
and his dynasty would reign over an independent Vietnam for centuries. Le Loi would
forever be known as the hero of the people of Vietnam."

// 25 - Tamerlane

225101 "The man's eyes surveyed the room as he began to speak. 'A life of flight is
a cruel thing. I have seen numerous battles and escaped the clutches of death too
many times to count. Thousands of men once followed my call, but I am now without
land, army, or title. All that I have left is my quest for vengeance.'"
225102 "Precious time passes as I speak, so I will be blunt: Doom rapidly
approaches your land, and you must be ready for it!'"
225103 "The armies of the accursed Tamerlane draw ever nearer, watering the ground
with blood. This warlord is the greatest scourge ever seen in all Asia! If you will
listen, I will tell you of his conquests, of the terror that he has inspired.'"
225104 "Born into the Barlas, nomads inhabiting the Central Asian steppe, Tamerlane
was bred from birth to be a warrior. He spent his youth as a mercenary in the
service of the local chieftains, but soon rose to power when his father, a
chieftain himself, died.'"
225105 "At this time, Transoxiana was divided between four powers: In the west lay
the White Horde and the Blue Horde, mere shadows of the former glory of the Golden
Horde. In the east were the two wings of the declining Chagatai Khanate. Tamerlane
set his sights on these divided rivals. He was outnumbered, but he had a plan."
225106 "Tokhtamysh, a chieftain challenging his uncle Urus for rule of the White
Horde, had sent messengers to Tamerlane seeking his support. If Tamerlane could
defeat Urus and install Tokhtamysh in his place, then Tamerlane could rely on the
support of a powerful ally."
225151 "As a child, Tamerlane had been dragged into Samarkand in chains by the
Mongols. Now, all of Transoxiana was his to command. The leaders of the rival
hordes all flocked to him to pledge their loyalty.'"
225152 "The wind roared, whistling through the hall. Flames flickered in the great
fires burning within, their distorted shapes resembling the forms of agile
warriors. 'The unlucky few that did not submit were destroyed with fire and sword.
Towers were built from their bones!'"
225153 "'Tamerlane was now a great amir, or lord, but his thirst for conquest was
far from over.'"

225201 "Convinced that my guest knew a great deal about this Tamerlane, I asked him
for more insight. I had heard that Tamerlane had been maimed by arrow wounds to his
hand and leg. How could his armies accept a lame man as their leader?"
225202 "'A fair question,' he answered. 'It is said that Tamerlane and his fellow
tribesmen agreed to decide who would lead them by a footrace. Although Tamerlane's
men ran more swiftly, he cast his cap onto the stake marking their goal, and thus
won the race.'"
225203 "This man seemed cunning as a fox, a dangerous adversary for any commander.
I asked my guest to continue his tale. 'Tamerlane gazed southwest to Persia, a land
torn by strife ever since the fall of the Ilkhanate. Persia was vast, its terrain a
challenge to any ambitious conqueror. It would not be easy to take.'"
225204 "'Tamerlane, however, could count on the support of his ally Tokhtamysh, who
had reunified the Golden Horde. Together, they would ride down the squabbling
Persian kingdoms.'"
225251 "'Tokhtamysh's betrayal brought Tamerlane to a rare burst of fury. The man
that he had regarded as a son, for whom he had sweated and bled, had stabbed him in
the back.'"
225252 "'Tamerlane was forced to halt the Persian campaign to cope with this
treachery. Thousands of battle-hardened cavalrymen ceased their pillaging and
thundered northwest through the steppe to the lands of the Golden Horde and its
allies in Russia.'"
225253 "As if foreshadowing the tale to come, the snow of early spring began to
fall outside. Winters lasted a long time in these parts, and even the nobles in the
hall, clad in their furs, shivered. 'Tamerlane's vengeance was fearsome to behold,'
the man whispered."

225301 "The blasts of wind intensified, snuffing out some of the torches within the
hall. Servants bustled about, tending to the meat roasting over the fire. The scent
of cooked birds, game, and mutton filled the air."
225302 "This was the first time that Tamerlane's forces had ventured into Europe.
The winters were harsh, and Tokhtamysh surely hoped that the biting cold and far-
flung supply lines would prove too much for the wily tactician. The armies of the
Golden Horde burned crops and took all they could carry as they retreated.'"
225303 "Tokhtamysh knew that Tamerlane would show no mercy. Terrifying reports
reached his ears of torched villages and mountains formed from the bones of the
slain. Wherever Tamerlane went, it seemed that flock of carrion birds were never
far behind. Entire towns surrendered upon hearing of the brutal destruction of one
of their neighbors.'"
225304 "'Tokhtamysh had no choice but to engage the rampaging forces of his enemy.
The armies met near the banks of the Kondurcha River, sometime during the early
weeks of the summer. Crows and vultures circled above the field, an ominous
foreshadowing of the carnage to come.'"
225351 "'Raging fires, torrents of blood, piles of ash, the clash of iron, and the
screams of the dying. These were the horrors that Tamerlane visited upon the cities
and people of the Golden Horde.'"
225352 "The cities of Ryazan, Sarai, Astrakhan, Azov, and Ukek were reduced to
rubble. All that remained aside from the ruins were the towers of bones that were
built from the corpses of the dead. Those who survived were driven like sheep to
march in unspeakable cold.'"
225353 "Tokhtamysh had no choice but to flee west to Lithuania. Tamerlane was
determined not to let the traitor escape, but word soon reached him of a rebellion
within his homeland. Leaving the hunt in the hands of two of his generals,
Tamerlane swiftly returned home to restore order...at the point of a blade.'"

225401 "Listening to the stories of this stranger had stirred our appetites, and we
eagerly began to devour our meal. I invited the old man to sit next to me. I still
thought that this Tamerlane was more myth than man. Surely he had been beaten in a
battle at least once."
225402 "The man has the cunning of a wolf and the composure of an owl. In some
battles he strikes hard at the center of the enemy line, while in others swift
horsemen outflank the opposition. They then feign a retreat to bait the enemy into
a trap - a storm of arrows.'"
225403 "When Tamerlane decided to cross the Khyber Pass into India, a different and
terrifying challenge faced him. The armies of the Delhi Sultanate ruled the
battlefield through their powerful elephants, monstrous beasts known to crush a
horseman with a single foot! Drawing up his lines, the clever warlord waited to
spring his latest trap.'"
225451 "The Indian army relied on the charge of its dreaded elephants to shock
their enemies and drive them into disorder. No stranger to the art of war,
Tamerlane knew this.'"
225452 "In a stroke of genius, he loaded the camels in his baggage train with straw
and wood and set them aflame, whipping them towards the enemy lines. The sight
terrified the elephants, who doubled back and trampled their own men.'"
225453 "The battle was a rout. Two hundred years' worth of Indian treasure was
loaded onto a train of wagons and carried back to Samarkand. In response to an
uprising, Tamerlane's armies reduced the jewel of Northern India to a charnel
house. Death and fire mingled in a putrid stench that enveloped Delhi for weeks.'"
225454 "Still, Tamerlane was not satisfied--there was unfinished business to the
west.'"

225501 "Silence gripped the court as the narrative evoked fear and awe. The meal
had been finished for some time, and the fires were beginning to die low. 'If
Tamerlane turned west, he surely would have collided with the mighty Ottoman
Empire. Would he even dare to do such a thing?'"
225502 "For some time, the local Turkoman tribes of the Levant had been requesting
aid against Ottoman aggression. With his army rested and his coffers full of Indian
riches, Tamerlane was ready for more bloodshed. He knew that there was more than
one way to motivate an army. Religious fervor and promises of land and plunder
drove his men forward.'"
225503 "This land was familiar with the terror of previous invasions, but nothing
could prepare them for the onslaught that lay ahead. Thirsting for glory,
Tamerlane's armies flooded across mountains, plains, and rivers to terrorize
Armenia, Georgia, and the Levant.'"
225551 "Tamerlane's forces ran rampant, looting and burning as they went. For a
land that had only recently experienced the plague, this scourge must have seemed
to signal the end of the world.'"
225552 "Although he was known for his military campaigns, Tamerlane was also a
patron of the arts. When a city was sacked, the artisans and scholars were spared
and sent to his capital at Samarkand, where they created a vibrant blend of
cultures.'"
225553 "'Populations who resisted him, however, were not so lucky. After his siege
had broken the Armenian fortress of Van, Tamerlane ordered its inhabitants hurled
from the crags.'"
225554 "Just like Hulegu roughly a century before, Tamerlane showed particular
cruelty to the city of Baghdad. Each man in Tamerlane's army was required to bring
him two heads. The warriors slaughtered the population of the city, then slew the
prisoners they had brought with them. It is said that to satisfy Tamerlane's
command, some even slew their own wives.'"
225555 "For the survivors of this savagery, it seemed as if the sun would never
rise again.'"

225601 "The relationship between Tamerlane and the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid was one
of great enmity. The two of them had been exchanging scathing letters for years.'"
225602 "Finally, Tamerlane had the opportunity to crush his rival, whose armies
were weary from wars in Byzantium and Hungary. Even so, the Ottoman Empire was no
trifling opponent, its army driven by intrepid leadership and the power of its
janissaries.'"
225603 "The Ottoman force marching to meet Tamerlane was large but divided. Turks,
Serbs, Tatars, and various other vassals all contributed troops to this powerful
yet volatile force. If some of them could be pried away and convinced to defect,
the tide would turn in Tamerlane's favor.'"
225604 "'This would be his greatest test yet. The fate of two empires hung in the
balance!'"
225651 "The Battle of Ankara was a catastrophe for the Ottomans. Never before had
they suffered the disgrace of having their sultan captured in battle.'"
225652 "Turning his armies around, Tamerlane left Anatolia in chaos. It is only a
matter of time before he seeks another victim.'"
225653 "The man ended his tale on that foreboding note. I realized that I had to
prepare my kingdom lest my lands appear ripe for the picking. I ordered everyone to
retire to their quarters. We would discuss this new danger in the morning with
clear and ready minds."
225654 "Suddenly, the doors burst open and a servant rushed towards me. 'Sire, a
messenger from a warlord called Tamerlane is here to speak to you. He claims that
you are harboring someone of interest to him.' I turned to the old man, who had not
heard the messenger, and asked for his name."
225655 "His weary, dark eyes met mine, and he answered in a grim voice: 'I am
Tokhtamysh Khan, of the blood of Genghis Khan and the rightful ruler of the Golden
Horde! Landless and friendless, all I have left is my tale.'"

// 26 - Ivaylo

226101 "The day has come for you to know the truth."
226102 "For many years, I avoided your questions, my child - about you, about me,
about your father. But you must know. You are not from here. Your homeland is to
the north, in Bulgaria. Let me tell you a tale."
226103 "Once, a powerful noble named Konstantin led a rebel army to Tarnovo, the
capital of Bulgaria. The reigning tsar, a murderer who had usurped the throne, fled
with his son Ivan to the court of the Roman emperor. The grateful nobles of
Bulgaria, a class of men called the bolyars, proclaimed Konstantin tsar."
226104 "The new king brought peace to Bulgaria. He wed the emperor's niece and even
arranged the marriage of the Roman ruler's daughter to a one-eyed Mongol khan. But
such peace was not to last. Men are like wolves; they smell weakness."
226105 "While riding, the tsar fell from his horse, shattering his legs and spine.
The crippled tsar watched helplessly as his kingdom descended into anarchy. Tatar
raiders invaded his lands, while the bolyars busied themselves with increasing
their own power. For fear of the raider's torch, the peasants accepted the bolyar's
whip."
226106 "A most unlikely man changed this fate. A common pig farmer appeared in a
small village. His hands were calloused and his weathered face was like that of any
man who worked for his livelihood."
226107 "But this man was different. Not only did he urge the people to resist the
Tatars, but he somehow turned his words into action, leading a militia to defend
the villages. Soon, his unlikely successes attracted the attention of far more
powerful and ruthless men..."
226151 "Sometimes, the actions of others force us to make drastic decisions. Such
was the case with Ivaylo. Whatever his intentions, the armed band he led grew
beyond him. It became a force of fury. And of revenge."
226152 "Having overthrown their masters, the peasants took vengeance on the hated
nobles, murdering their families before blinding them with scorching hot needles."
226153 "Ivaylo himself was said to have slain Konstantin. The tsar's severed head
was carried by a horseman to Tarnovo, the capital. There, it was presented to the
tsar's wife, Maria, and their seven-year-old son."

226201 "After her husband's murder, the tsarina ruled a kingdom in disarray. Though
this would have challenged even the most capable tsar, the dark-haired Greek
princess was greater than most men."
226202 "Beautiful and cunning, Maria Palaiologina Kantakouzene was a daughter of
two of the greatest families in Constantinople. She had wed the tsar on the orders
of her uncle, the emperor, but her byzantine guile proved as much a benefit to her
husband."
226203 "When a rival bolyar threatened Konstantin's rule, Maria offered to adopt
him as her son and heir. The opportunistic bolyar accepted and feasted in the
tsar's court, only to be found dead shortly afterward. Poisoned."
226204 "But now, with an uprising in the countryside and scheming bolyars in her
own court, it would take all of Maria's cunning to preserve her power. But a more
threatening menace came from her own uncle..."
226205 "The headstrong Roman Emperor Michael Palaiologos demanded his niece's
submission. The tsarina, just as strong-willed, refused."
226206 "Furious that his own niece stifled his ambition, the emperor chose an
exiled prince to place on the Bulgarian throne. Ivan, the returning son of the Asen
dynasty deposed by Konstantin, led a great Roman army to retake his father's
kingdom."
226207 "The tsarina alone could not defeat the Romans. Nor could Ivaylo challenge
both the tsarina and Ivan. The logic of these facts dictated a most unlikely
alliance: between a rebel leader and the wife of the Tsar he murdered."
226251 "Ivaylo's army filled the Yantra River with Roman dead, securing Maria's
place on the throne. Now, the tsarina had to fulfill her end of the bargain. As
Ivaylo approached the gates to the fortress, Maria waited silently for the man who
had killed her husband."
226252 "As Ivaylo stepped before her, the tsarina placed the tsar's crown, once
worn by her husband and father of her child, on the swineherd's head, crowning a
peasant a king. The objections of the watching nobility were silent but palpable."
226253 "Then, in a hasty ceremony, Maria wed the newly crowned tsar, tying her fate
with his."

226301 "Ivaylo watched suspiciously as the bolyars bowed their heads in his
presence. No matter what respect they showed him as tsar in daylight, he knew they
whispered and cursed him in the shadows. 'Murderer... Peasant scum...'"
226302 "Tarnovo might be the 'City of the Tsars,' but it belonged to the bolyars.
Ivaylo knew that remaining there would be a death sentence, but he was tied to the
city - the tsarina was carrying his child. Yet fatherhood would have to wait..."
226303 "The emperor was undeterred by Ivan Asen's defeat. He enlisted his son-in-
law, a great Mongol warlord named Nogai, to unleash war on Bulgaria."
226304 "A descendant of Genghis Khan, Nogai was broad shouldered and barrel-
chested. He had lost an eye battling a brother in the Caucasus, a disfigurement
that cost him the chance to rule as Khan of the Golden Horde."
226305 "However, that was to his liking. Nogai was not a man to sit idly in a
golden tent; he became the kingmaker and the real power behind the Horde, leading
its warriors into battle."
226306 "Mongols, Tatars, Cumans... warriors as numerous as blades of grass streamed
across the Danube into Bulgaria. Ivaylo raced in the middle of the night to the
river town of Drastar. There, he would raise an army and make his stand."
226307 "In Tarnovo, the tsarina, alone and with child, waited for his return."
226351 "A lone rider approached Drastar and called for the tsar. Ivaylo wondered,
was this a messenger of the one-eyed khan offering peace?"
226352 "But as the tsar raised himself against the battlements, he could see the
horseman was a Bulgarian. What word did he bring from Tarnovo? Did he come to tell
Ivaylo of the birth of his child?"
226353 "No. The rider bore a message which chilled Ivaylo and the survivors of the
siege."
226354 "'Tsar,' the horseman began, 'your men in Tarnovo are dead, murdered by the
bolyars who have opened the gates to Ivan Asen. Ivan has taken the tsarina and your
newborn child and delivered them as prisoners to the emperor.'"

226401 "Ivaylo rode south, galloping past torched villages and overturned fields.
He rode under the tall peaks and through the narrow passages of the Balkan
Mountains. There, the remnants of his army would make their final stand."
226402 "A great Roman army was approaching, sent to reinforce Ivan's faction in
Tarnovo. The army was commanded by the general Michael Glabas, who had strengthened
his already impressive numbers with Tatar mercenaries."
226403 "With Ivan in the north and the Romans marching from the south, Ivaylo knew
neither refuge nor retreat remained for his last followers. His men would win or
die in these mountain passes."
226404 "But these valleys had witnessed impossible victories before. Here was where
Bulgarian khans and tsars etched their places in history. The walls of granite rock
echoed the names of heroes like Krum, Simeon, and Kaloyan the Romanslayer. To
these, the names of Ivaylo and his men would be added."
226451 "Ivaylo's impossible victory at the Kotel Pass brought fear to Ivan. He
abandoned Tarnovo and fled to the emperor's court. The emperor offered no solace to
a coward."
226452 "In Tarnovo, no sooner had the bolyars discovered the tsar's throne empty
than they began to squabble over it. The wisest of the bolyars reminded the others
that the kingdom was still threatened by both Mongols and Romans. Bulgaria needed
stability and that would mean all bolyars would need to unite under a single
banner."
226453 "From among their ranks, the bolyars found a warrior to defend and unite the
kingdom - a man descended from the tribe of the legendary Cuman warrior, Kotyan.
They chose Georgi Terter as tsar."

226501 "Betrayed by Georgi Terter, Ivaylo returned to Tarnovo, but the gates were
barred to him. His men finally gave up hope. They returned to their fields, their
uprising and Ivaylo's brief reign just a memory, to be lost and forgotten."
226502 "But Ivaylo could not forget. As he stood powerless before the city's walls,
the weight of his fate as a mere pig herder finally weighed upon him."
226503 "He had defied all odds. He had not just challenged a tsar, a khan, and an
emperor, but had upset the very order of the world. He, a swineherd, had dared to
overthrow kings and make men free."
226504 "With these thoughts, Ivaylo took the greatest risk of his life. Perhaps
blinded by his ambition, or blinded by his hope, Ivaylo turned to his enemy for
help. He sought redemption in the land of the blind, where the one-eyed man is
king."
226551 "The one-eyed khan ordered a feast for Ivaylo and Ivan Asen, where he
listened to their arguments on why he should support one over the other. Then,
having heard enough, Nogai rose and pointed to Ivaylo."
226552 "In that moment, it is said that Nogai's guards seized Ivaylo and murdered
him. The body was taken away as Nogai returned to his seat and finished his meal."
226553 "But I am not so sure that was the end of our hero. In the years since,
Ivaylo has appeared again in many places and many times. Wherever the downtrodden
have the courage to fight for freedom and justice, Ivaylo seems to appear. He lives
in all of us and especially in you, my child."
226554 "I can see you are confused. I know you are thinking, 'What does this pig
herding tsar have to do with me?' Don't you see, my dear? I lived in Bulgaria then.
So did you, in fact."
226555 "You were very young, then. A mere baby when I wrapped you in your swaddling
clothes and carried you here. It was on the day when the emperor, my uncle, took us
from Tarnovo and from your father, Tsar Ivaylo."

// 27 - Kotyan

227101 "Like a swarm of locusts, the Mongol horde emerged from the east, driven by
a madman named Genghis Khan."
227102 "When we first heard the rumors of their approach, we thought the Mongols
were but mere bands of raiders, not unusual on the steppes. But when spies from the
east told us that the Mongols had utterly destroyed the Persian Empire, putting its
civilians to the sword and burning its cities to ash in three short years, we
realized that we had severely underestimated them."
227103 "Not much later, our own people faced this new scourge. Our Kipchak brethren
to the east fought bravely but were easily defeated and several of their khans were
captured."
227104 "The Mongols buried the Kipchak khans alive underneath a podium on which the
Mongol commander, Subotai Ba'atur, sat to celebrate his victory. The Mongols called
it an honorable death, only reserved for nobility and royalty. I believe that these
Mongols are evil demons, sent to torture us."
227105 "Only the western part of our once mighty confederation remains, and with it
the great Cumania has become a mere shadow of its former self. However, one of the
khans, Kotyan, recognizes our peril and is rallying all of the tribes to unite
against the invaders."
227106 "Putting aside his pride, he has turned to our sworn enemies, the Rus, and
is asking them to join the fight. They may be hostile towards us, but we have no
other choice. The Mongols will scourge this earth and enslave everyone on it. Let
us hope that the Rus princes come to realize that too, before it is too late."
227151 "The Rus principalities were not easy to persuade. However, when news
reached the Rus princes that a large Mongol army was riding west toward the Dnieper
River, they accepted Kotyan's offer. Now, a united army of Rus soldiers and Cuman
horsemen stand together to face the incoming Mongol horde."
227152 "It is a magnificent sight to behold as our combined armies march to meet
the Mongols on the field of battle. Beams of sunlight dance on the shields of Rus
foot soldiers, the full body armor of the Boyars and the iron-clad Cuman horsemen."
227153 "If this odd coalition of Rus' and Cumans can stand united, we might have a
chance of withstanding this scourge from the east."

227201 "The sky has turned dark with the smoke of burning tar. Through it one can
see the bodies of men and horses scattered on the battlefield."
227202 "Despite our large numbers, our armies were swept away from this earth like
dust on a field."
227203 "The Mongols knew perfectly how to exploit our weaknesses and divide our
forces. The hooves of the charging Mongol horsemen sounded like thunder and their
arrows poured down on us like rain. Smoking projectiles fired by Mongol catapults
caused confusion among our ranks and blocked our line of sight. We saw Rus' princes
charge into the smoke, never to be seen again."
227204 "After nine long days, the combined Rus' and Cuman armies were completely
annihilated."
227205 "Morale is at an all-time low for those who survived. We Cumans know that
all hope is lost for our ancestral homeland. To escape certain death or slavery, we
will retreat beyond the Dnieper River to rally and ride west."
227206 "At least Khan Kotyan survived the battle, which gives us a tiny bit of
light in these dark times. His calm presence and confident voice can still give
hope to the men."
227251 "When looking into the empty eyes of the men sitting in front of the yurts,
it is hard to imagine that these men were once fierce steppe horsemen-warriors who
were feared by European kings and Byzantine emperors alike."
227252 "Our khan is devastated by the recent events as well and has not eaten since
the battle. Each time Kotyan emerges from his tent, his face appears older and more
gaunt."
227253 "Pressured by the Mongol horde, we have no other choice than to keep on
moving south. At night, Tatar and Mongol raiding parties ambush Cuman guards who
wander too far away from camp. It will be yet another sleepless night for the men."

227301 "Although many of us had given up hope, Khan Kotyan still believed in our
survival. The messengers that he had sent west returned with good news. Even though
we did not expect much grace from the Europeans that we raided for so many
centuries, King Bela IV of Hungary offered our people asylum in his country. For
the first time in months, our people rejoiced."
227302 "However, before we leave for Hungary, we must first save our kinsmen
trapped by Mongol and Tatar raiders in nearby Wallachia."
227303 "The situation is dire, but news reached us that a fellow khan named Girgen
is fighting off the enemy raids, trying to rescue our people. If we can reach him
in time and rally the remaining tribes, we might have a chance of saving what is
left of the free Cumans."
227351 "Although our people numbered up to 40,000 men, women and children, the
Hungarian king welcomed us with open arms. Hungarians and Cumans greeted each other
amicably and festivities ensued for days. Our leaders were baptized by the
Hungarian priests and many of our people followed their example."
227352 "When the festivities end, we will settle in the Hungarian valleys, set up
our yurts there, and send our herds out into the fields. Everything seems to be
better now. Still, we should not get too comfortable with the Mongol army
converging on the Hungarian border."
227353 "Our horsemen will help the Hungarians defend their lands, but we are not
the only ones who have come to their aid. Duke Frederick of Austria, an old rival
of King Bela, has come to Hungary with a company of heavy armored German knights.
We are suspicious of these strangers, but there is no time for internal squabbling.
Not in such dire times."

227401 "Treachery!"
227402 "While attending a lavish feast thrown by an Hungarian lord, Khan Kotyan was
murdered in cold blood by Hungarian and German knights! Our people are outraged and
are out for blood! The Hungarians think we will scatter without Kotyan's
leadership, but they are wrong. They have united us in pursuit of one goal--to
avenge the death of our one true khan!"
227403 "Our clan leaders have come together and taken an oath according to the old
Cuman traditions: with sword in hand over a dead dog, cut in two, they swear not to
dismount their horses until Kotyan's death has been paid back in blood. If our
leaders fail to honor their oath, their own clansmen will ensure that they suffer
the same fate as the dog that they swore the oath upon."
227404 "That is the way of the Cumans."
227405 "We will act before the combined armies of Frederick and the Hungarian lords
arrive. We know that there is a safe haven to the south in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian
emperor is of Cuman descent and is ready to provide safe passage for our elderly
and young."
227406 "In the meantime, all men and women able to mount a horse will venture out
to raid the Hungarian countryside. Our vengeance will be swift and thorough. We
will show no mercy. Hungary will burn..."
227451 "We left no stone unturned and spared no living being. Every shack, hovel,
and hut was burned to the ground, all livestock killed, and all farms trampled to
dust."
227452 "After we had plundered the last village before crossing into Bulgaria, I
looked over my shoulder and saw nothing but a nightmarish vision of red and black-
as if we had brought hell to the surface of the earth itself."
227453 "The Hungarians will think twice in the future before double-crossing us."

227501 "After we left Hungary weakened and defenseless, the Mongols invaded,
defeated King Bela and his army, and devastated the country once more. The kingdom
is in such a poor state that refugees say that the church bells in Hungary have
been quiet for weeks and wild animals now roam the streets of the cities."
227502 "King Bela fled to Austria where Duke Frederick used King Bela's weak
position to extort land and make him swear fealty to the Holy Roman Emperor. Just
like us, King Bela fell for the treachery of the Austrian duke and the Hungarian
nobles."
227503 "Our people stand at a crossroads. We received a letter from King Bela
pleading with us to return to Hungary and help him deal with those who wronged us.
Many of our leaders are not convinced and still wish to go to Bulgaria. It is not
an easy decision, but it is I who have to make it."
227504 "For I am the new great khan of the Cumans, and they depend on my wisdom. I
am no Kotyan, but I will follow in his footsteps and ensure the survival of our
people and their legacy, something which he had fought so hard for."
227551 "It has been years since I last saw the lands of my ancestors. Although I
still often find myself awash in fond memories of my younger years on the Eurasian
steppes, I do not grieve, for it is fate that has led us here. Our people have
spread out to all corners of the world, leaving a strong mark on it."
227552 "In Hungary, the daughter of Kotyan married the eldest son of King Bela and
many of our people live there in peace now. The Cumans who were enslaved and sold
by the Mongols years ago have carved out a new empire in the Middle East. I even
heard that these 'Mamluks', as they are now called, have defeated the Mongol army
invading Syria, halting their relentless expansion once and for all."
227553 "Much blood has been spilled, but I can see a bright future for the people
of former Cumania-one where we, like our ancestors before us, will keep on shaping
the records of history."

// 28 - Challenges

228001 "Before you can lead an army into battle, you must first learn the nine
principles of the Art of War - written by the famous warrior and philosopher, Sun
Tzu."
228002 "His teachings come to us from ancient books, and his infinite wisdom about
warfare and military tactics still apply to this day."
228003 "I will guide you and teach you these most important lessons, Commander.
Listen very well."
228051 "Excellent! You have mastered every lesson that I had to teach. Remember the
words of Sun Tzu and his teachings about the Art of War and you will win many
battles."
228052 "Or, in the words of the wise philosopher-warrior:\n\n\n'If you know the
enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.'"

228101 "Sun Tzu teaches us not only how to engage our enemies but also how to
manage logistics. An army cannot fight without proper supplies. Without food,
arrows, and arms, an army cannot stand its ground."
228102 "In the words of Sun Tzu: ‘Bring war material with you from home, but forage
in enemy territory. Then the army will have enough food to survive.'"
228103 "Let us see if you understand this advice."

228201 "A good commander must learn to be decisive in war. Hesitation or mistakes
can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Just as a soldier practices his
spear thrusts, so too must a commander learn to be efficient and repeat tasks until
he knows them by heart."
228202 "Sun Tzu says: ‘A clever fighter wins his battles by making no mistakes.
Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means
conquering an enemy that is already defeated.’"
228203 "Few generals make it this far. Let us see if you are one of them."

228301 "As your army grows, so do your responsibilities. Not only must you look
after your soldiers, but also after their families. It is of great importance that
your people are fed, that your population grows, and that your towns increase in
size."
228302 "Sun Tzu says: ‘The command of a large force is the same principle as the
command of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers.’"
228303 "An army is only as strong as the economy that supports it. A large army
requires a large population and a surplus of food, gold, and other resources. Show
me that you understand this important lesson."

228401 "Sometimes, you will face an enemy stronger than yourself. Be like a
wrestler who is smaller than his opponent. He does not meet his opponent's strength
with his own, but instead looks for his enemy's weakness. So too must you learn to
strike your enemy where he is vulnerable and cut his supply lines before you can
meet strength with strength. Here is the virtue in raiding."
228402 "On this subject, Sun Tzu advises: ‘The impact of your army should be like a
grindstone dashed against an egg—this is achieved through the knowledge of weak and
strong points.’"
228403 "Be relentless, because the enemy will be relentless as well. Now, show me
what you learned."

228501 "You are not the only one who will be raiding. Your opponent will not
hesitate to attack you when and where you are weakest. Therefore, you must use your
skills to defend your people and train your peasants to defend themselves."
228502 "‘Hence that general is skillful in attack whose opponent does not know what
to defend; and he is skillful in defense whose opponent does not know what to
attack,’ Sun Tzu wrote."
228503 "Show strength where you are weak. Wherever the enemy attacks, show him that
you are ready to repel his soldiers. Be ready and prepared, Commander, because now
it is up to you."

228601 "A commander goes to war with the army that he has and must think of how to
get the most out of it! Your opponent may seem stronger at first glance, but a sly
general does not worry. He studies the enemy and the terrain and knows how to use
his soldiers to maximum effect."
228602 "Sun Tzu says: ‘The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the
possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity to defeat the enemy.’"
228603 "Did you understand what this advice should tell you? Good! Then it is time
to send your troops into battle -- and do not forget to always keep a level head!"

228701 "The most important thing for an army is discipline. A disciplined army can
be vastly outnumbered but still seize victory. A disciplined army can hold their
ground, move around the battlefield quickly, and, if necessary, retreat in an
orderly fashion."
228702 "When fielding your army, Sun Tzu says: ‘Whether to concentrate or to divide
your troops, must be decided by circumstances.’"
228703 "Use fast forces against slow ones, use feigned retreats to lure your
enemies into ambushes, and split your army to flank your enemy. This is what Sun
Tzu teaches us. Do you understand this lesson? If so, take command of your army and
show me that you do."

228801 "Sun Tzu stresses balance, but a commander will not always have his two feet
on solid ground! Sometimes, he must set sail to achieve victory. Rivers must be
navigated to open new trade routes, and oceans must be crossed to make new
discoveries. But what if your opponent also has brought ships to sea?"
228802 "Sun Tzu teaches us: ‘The onrush of a conquering force is like the bursting
of pent-up waters into a chasm a thousand fathoms deep.’"
228803 "You are not water-shy, are you? Good! The captains of your fleet are
awaiting your orders!"

228901 "You may encounter adversaries that do not have the courage to face you on
the field. It can be expected that some of your rivals will prefer to hide behind
the walls of their strongholds. Besieging an enemy castle is an art of its own that
every able general must master."
228902 "Sun Tzu says: ‘A warlike prince carries out his own secret designs, keeping
his antagonists in awe. Then he is able to capture their cities and overthrow their
kingdoms.’"
228903 "Now is the time to familiarize yourself with the construction and usage of
siege equipment. Will you be able to bring down the walls of your opponent?"

// 29 - Edward

229101 "It is the curse of all royalty to be compared with their forebears. My
illustrious father built himself a kingdom in his youth; now I can barely hold on
to it in mine."
229102 "I hear all of the nobility’s whisperings at court. They say that I may be
King of England by birth, but I will never be so by merit. That I, Edward II, am
unworthy of my father’s name…how much longer until these whispers become cries of
rebellion?"
229103 "My heart quivers when I visit his tomb in the abbey; I am wracked by fear;
it claws at my soul like the talons of demons. Fear, that I will prove them right;
that I will disgrace this family’s legacy, as my grandfather did…"
229104 "Yet, I must not give in. I will study my father’s reign, and hope that it
will imbue me with his strength; the fortitude that I so lack."
229105 "My father Edward spent his youth watching in disgust as his ineffectual
father Henry drove England to the brink of ruin. When his subjects could bear his
ruinous reign no more, a rebellion led by the baron Simon de Montfort deposed
Henry, leaving his kingdom in tatters."
229106 "After the disastrous Battle of Lewes, the baronial forces captured and
jailed my father and grandfather in Hereford. Some kings begin their rise to the
throne from within the palace. Edward began his from the anguish of imprisonment."
229107 "Yet, even when the future seems bleak, fate occasionally extends its hand
and offers allies from the most unlikely of places…"
229151 "Like his Norman ancestors, Gilbert de Clare was a shrewd opportunist.
Initially a commander in the rebel army, he keenly sensed its divisions and saw
that he could further his own ambitions by defecting to Edward."
229152 "My father moved with alarming speed. Worcester and Gloucester, Gilbert’s
family seat, were seized without delay."
229153 "After a string of further victories, he compelled the leaderless and
battered rebel forces to capitulate."
229154 "Known by many as Longshanks, Edward was feared for his imposing stature and
foul temper. While Henry was restored to the throne, all were well aware that
Edward was now the true power behind it."

229201 "Ruthless and cunning, Edward did not always adhere to the chivalric codes
that the European nobility held so dear. After massacring Simon the Younger’s men
in a stealthy night attack on Kenilworth, he used the captured banners to disguise
his army before smashing de Montfort at Evesham."
229202 "In an act of alarming brutality, the corpse of de Montfort, an earl of
England, was hacked into carrion and his head mounted on a pike."
229203 "Edward had won the war and cowed the rebels into submission in just over a
year, but the victory came at the cost of his honor. Nobility and clergy alike
cringed at the thought of an impious butcher one day ascending to the throne of
England."
229204 "To restore his ailing reputation and prove himself worthy of the crown, my
father resolved to lead a crusade east to the Holy Land, where the situation grew
increasingly dire."
229205 "The voracious Mamluk Sultanate waged a fierce war of expansion, first
against the Mongols and now against the beleaguered Crusaders. Several fortresses
quickly fell before their unstoppable onslaught."
229206 "Their leader was Sultan Baibars, a man not unlike my father Edward.
Originally a slave of Cuman origin, he rose to prominence through military service
and had recently taken power after murdering the reigning sultan."
229207 "Having just slaughtered the population of Antioch, his armies now
threatened Acre and Tripoli from the east, converging on both cities in a
suffocating siege. Edward’s army arrived in Acre to find the inhabitants desperate,
but not beyond hope."
229251 "The fighting was vicious. Droves of Crusaders and Mamluks alike fell,
spattering the battlements and the fields surrounding Acre and Tripoli with blood
and gore."
229252 "Throughout the Crusade, my father proved his mettle as a tactician and as a
statesman. Fearless when faced with peril, he led a daring raid that devastated the
enemy towns of Nazareth and Qaqun."
229253 "Following these victories, he convinced the terrifying horde of the Mongol
Ilkhanate to descend upon the Mamluks, devastating the region around Aleppo."
229254 "The hitherto invincible Baibars was overwhelmed and forced to withdraw, but
before doing so he sent a Nizari with a poisoned blade to remove his capable rival.
Edward slew the assassin, but a wound in his arm left him bedridden for months."

229301 "Edward left the Holy Land in an uneasy truce. Baibars had promised to keep
the peace for ten years, ten months and ten days; now, with more pressing matters
developing back in England, my father could only hope that the Sultan would keep
his word."
229302 "While Edward was away on Crusade building his reputation as an honorable
and capable leader, his father Henry died, leaving him the English crown."
229303 "He returned to an England both stable and eagerly anticipating his arrival.
On August 19, 1274, the Lord Edward was crowned Edward I of England."
229304 "Wishing to expand his new kingdom, Edward set his sights west towards
Wales, an old enemy that had supported Simon de Montfort during the baronial
rebellion."
229305 "The Welsh prince Llywelyn ap Gruffydd constantly antagonized the Anglo-
Norman marcher lords on the border. Adding insult to injury, he took Simon de
Montfort’s daughter Eleanor as his bride."
229306 "My father pounced on the already fractured Welsh factions, seeking to
conquer them piece by piece. But if there was one thing that the Welsh princes
hated more than each other, it was Englishmen imposing their laws on Welsh
territory."
229307 "Llywelyn’s brother Dafydd joined the fray and the brothers waged a war of
stealth and ambushes, defeating Edward’s southern armies under Luke de Tany and
Gilbert de Clare."
229308 "Seeing that the hardy folk of these mountainous forests and coarse heaths
would not bend easily to his will, my father changed tactics. If the Welsh could
not be crushed in open battle, they would be brought to heel from a series of
impenetrable castles."
229351 "The Welsh fought valiantly, but they were no match for Edward’s wrath. My
father’s forces outmaneuvered Llywelyn's forces and smashed them at Orewin Bridge.
The Welsh prince fell to the lance of a lone rider, who knew not the importance of
the man whom he had slain."
229352 "His brother Dafydd was captured at Nanhysglain and declared a traitor to
the English crown. Edward pitilessly condemned his bold adversary to be drawn and
quartered."
229353 "Wales was now firmly in my father’s grip. He bestowed upon me the title of
Prince of Wales, which shall be an heirloom of my line henceforth."
229354 "The network of formidable fortifications that Edward constructed throughout
the land shall ensure that the Welsh bow to the English crown for generations to
come."

229401 "I fear that I am deceiving myself in studying only my father’s achievements
in war. As king, I must be both a warrior and a statesman, just as he was."
229402 "Drawing inspiration from the legendary stories of King Arthur, Edward grew
from a deceitful and duplicitous youth into a pious and chivalrous ruler respected
throughout Christendom."
229403 "My father implemented economic, administrative and legal reforms that
strengthened and stabilized his kingdom. His borrowing of Byzantine concepts led
him to be known as 'The English Justinian’."
229404 "Yet, to Edward, this was just another part of ruling effectively, and
everything that he did furthered his fierce desire to rule over all of Britain.
When Alexander III of Scotland died without a male heir, that ambition suddenly
seemed within reach."
229405 "My father first strove to marry Alexander’s young granddaughter Margaret to
me, the heir apparent to England. When she died unexpectedly just a year later,
Edward instead installed John Balliol as king in Scotland."
229406 "The proud Scots would not suffer themselves to be ruled by an English
puppet whose master sought to conscript them into war with France. Instead, they
allied themselves with the French and rose in open rebellion."
229407 "Edward’s fury was unbridled. If Balliol could not hold his subjects in
line, my father would seize Scotland by force."
229451 "Father was unspeakably cruel to the Scots. In retribution for an attack on
Carlisle, he seized and sacked the wealthy town of Berwick, slaughtering some
20,000 inhabitants."
229452 "Balliol, the puppet that Edward had installed as king in Scotland, proved
himself a traitor. He marched the Scottish army south against the English, but it
was viciously drubbed at the Battle of Dunbar."
229453 "Begging for mercy, Balliol capitulated to Edward, who scornfully stripped
him of his coat of arms. This disgrace earned him the moniker Toom Tabard, ‘Empty
Coat’."
229454 "As a final humiliation, Edward seized the Coronation Stone from the
monastery in Scone and placed it in a chair in Westminster Abbey. That hallowed
Stone of Scone, a symbol of Scottish royalty, shall now sanctify the destiny of an
undying line of English kings."

229501 "The Scots did not take their humbling well. A year after Balliol’s defeat,
they rallied around the fiery knight William Wallace and poured out of the
highlands like rabid wolves."
229502 "Wallace was said to be a seven-foot-tall giant who lopped off the heads of
horses and men with a five-and-a-half foot sword: a barbaric match for my own
ferocious father."
229503 "After a string of unexpected victories, Wallace’s rebels were scattered at
the Battle of Falkirk and forced into hiding. Like a vengeful spectre, he continued
to harry English troops and convoys from the shadows."
229504 "Undaunted, Edward and his commander Aymer de Valence approached Stirling
Castle. Accompanying them was Robert the Bruce, a Scottish lord sworn to Edward but
known to covet the Scottish crown. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer,
as the ancient adage goes."
229505 "Taking after his famed predecessor Richard the Lionheart, he ordered the
construction of a massive set of trebuchets near the walls of Stirling."
229506 "His warning to the defenders was simple and dreadful: surrender or face
bombardment more ferocious than a rain of hellfire and brimstone."
229551 "William Wallace’s body was butchered and his remains were scattered across
Scotland as a grim warning to any who might fancy themselves a heroic rebel."
229552 "Yet, the effect was the opposite of what my father hoped for. The dying
embers of rebellion were kindled into a raging flame as the treacherous Robert the
Bruce renounced his vassalage and raised his banners."
229553 "With his last war still raging, my father, the mighty king of England and
Hammer of the Scots, passed away. England is now mine to rule; his vision mine to
fulfill…or to squander."
229554 "Robert the Bruce remains a threat and unrest brews throughout England; even
my own barons openly show their contempt and demand that my powers be diminished."
229555 "I have studied all that my father did, and still the task at hand terrifies
me. He faced every adversity and grew to be a great king; yet I already feel my
soul buckling under the weight of the crown."
229556 "I am king now, but what king shall I be? Should I be deceptive, as my
father was in his youth? Should I be the pious and chivalrous administrator? Or
brutal to no end, the new Hammer of the Scots?"
229557 "How ever can a man become so great as to fulfill all of these roles? I fear
that there is no answer."
229558 "Even so…when I stand by my father’s tomb, the fear and the shame sometimes
sweep aside. Deep within me, I know that, whatever else, I must try. I must fight
for my crown, my kingdom, and for my father’s legacy…"
229559 "…I will not fail you, father."
// 30 - Grand Dukes

230101 "Tomorrow, when Joan of Arc burns at the stake, I want you to watch
carefully."
230102 "Not the young woman in the flames…but the men who sentenced her to burn."
230103 "The English will carry out the sentence; but when nothing but her ashes
remains, it is the Grand Duke of the West, our Duke of Burgundy, that will have
seized a triumph."
230104 "For you see, this spectacle is not really about the Maid of Orléans; her
death is only as important as the benefit that it brings us. What burns on that
pyre is not Joan the person, but La Pucelle: the symbol of the French resistance."
230105 "You are young, my son; you have never seen our duchy as anything but a
powerful state. But we were not always so mighty. In the greater tale of history,
Burgundy is but a newborn power, carved from the lands of the kingdoms and empires
that surround us."
230106 "Our ascent began with John the Fearless, the father of our current duke. Up
until then, the dukes of Burgundy and the Armagnac faction had been equal rivals,
fighting for influence at the court of the Mad King of France."
230107 "Louis, the leader of the Armagnac faction, had been using the funds of the
French crown for years to stifle John in any way possible. He also boasted of
having bedded John’s wife..."
230108 "Tiring of these insults and Louis’ abuse of royal influence, John decided
to end their rivalry for good. Just three years into his reign, he sent fifteen men
to stab the Armagnac duke to death on the streets of Paris in broad daylight."
230109 "It was a true show of force; in one bloody act, John established himself as
the most powerful duke in France."
230110 "The Armagnac faction, now leaderless, began preparing for a long war. To
keep the Burgundians occupied, they supported a revolt in the city of Liège, which
was ruled by John’s brother-in-law, the Duke of Bavaria."
230111 "John the Fearless would not let such unrest spoil his plans for the grand
duchy. And so he marched his armies north, to a small village outside Liège called
Othée…"
230151 "The Battle of Othée was a decisive victory for John the Fearless. He rode
in triumph to Paris and his armies entered the city without a fight."
230152 "The Armagnac plot had failed. But since they had not openly waged war on
him, John could not yet exact his revenge by force."
230153 "Instead, John had the 15-year-old son of the deceased duke brought before
him. Still mourning the death of his father, the boy was forced to forgive his
father’s murderer in public."
230154 "A cruel act, you say; and that it was. But remember, my son, that cruelty
was not John’s goal, only a means to an end. By orchestrating this public display,
John showed not just the boy, but the entire House of Armagnac on their knees,
kissing his feet."
230155 "It was one insult too many for the proud Armagnacs, and the struggle
between the two factions would soon turn into open war."

230201 "John the Fearless was now the most powerful man in France. But his rivals,
the House of Armagnac, had not been idle."
230202 "Now led by the fearsome Count Bernard, they built an alliance against John
that included the Dukes of Orléans and Bourbon and the Count of Alençon. Bernard
sent bands of ravaging mercenaries into the lands controlled by John to draw him
out."
230203 "For John, this was the last straw. He marched his army out of Paris to face
the burgeoning alliance. And so France fell head-long into a war that would last
for decades."
230251 "The Armagnac alliance was broken…for now. But even as he was victorious on
one front, John faced a serious setback in Paris. A revolt by the butchers’ guild,
which was loyal to Burgundy, had spiraled out of control and the Burgundians and
their loyalists were expelled from the city."
230252 "John retreated to his domains in Burgundy to regroup, but he would not be
able to rest easily."
230253 "Across the sea, an old foe of the French had been lying in wait,
anticipating the right moment to strike. For Henry V, the king of England, that
moment had now come."

230301 "In England, they celebrate the Battle of Agincourt as a victory over
France. In truth, it was a victory only over the Armagnacs. The Burgundians stayed
out of the fight and John eagerly watched as the English king did his work for him,
decimating the Armagnac alliance."
230302 "Still, the English invasion of France had swiftly turned in Henry’s favor.
With the road to Paris now open, he marched his armies towards the French capital."
230303 "Sensing his time to strike, John the Fearless rallied his armies. He would
race the English to Paris and seize it from the Armagnacs before Henry could
arrive."
230351 "Paris was now in Burgundian hands, but in seizing the city, John had made
an enemy of the English king."
230352 "Not wanting to fight both the Armagnacs and the English at the same time,
he moved to make peace with his French rivals. The heir to the French throne, the
Dauphin, agreed to meet with him on a bridge near Montereau."
230353 "John and the Dauphin each arrived with ten of their trusted men and John
knelt before the Dauphin as a show of respect; but as he rose, two men of the
Dauphin’s retinue, who were Armagnac loyalists, sprung into action and charged John
with axes raised."
230354 "It was a trap. Before the meeting could even begin, John the Fearless was
struck down and killed while the Dauphin only watched unperturbed. It was a fitting
end for the man whose career had started with just such an assassination."
230355 "The Burgundians were outraged. There would be no peace between the French
factions, and Henry V would go on to win many more battles against his fractured
enemies."
230356 "But while this marks the end of the story of John the Fearless, the tale of
Burgundy is not yet over…"

230401 "You see, my son; it was not John the Fearless who brought La Pucelle to the
stake here in Rouen, but his son: our great duke, Philip the Good."
230402 "Until this point, he had been ruling the Burgundian Low Countries in his
family’s name, presiding over an economic and cultural golden age in this corner of
Europe. Outraged by the murder of his father, he quickly formed an alliance with
the English to avenge the death of John the Fearless."
230403 "But his war against the Armagnacs would have to wait."
230404 "The Duke of Bavaria, who had fought with John at the Battle of Othée many
years before, once more called for help from the Burgundians. This time it was not
against an Armagnac revolt, but against his own niece."
230405 "Jacqueline of Hainaut was not a woman content with obeying orders. For a
short time she had been the queen-to-be of all of France; but when her husband
died, she was quickly relegated to her Dutch holdings."
230406 "With her claim to the Low Countries contested by the Burgundians, she fled
across the English Channel, where she married the Lord Protector of England.
Together, they now returned to claim the lands that she had lost to the Duke of
Bavaria."
230407 "Philip, seeing his northern realms under attack by an English renegade,
rode north to push them back into the sea."
230451 "Philip treated his beaten foe with respect. While Jacqueline was a
Burgundian only by marriage, her plot, while failed, had been in true Burgundian
fashion."
230452 "Even so, Jacqueline found her imprisonment in Ghent intolerable."
230453 "Not long after her capture, her uncle, the Duke of Bavaria, was found dead;
murdered by poison. It is unclear if Jacqueline was behind this; some have even
speculated that Philip himself ordered the assassination..."
230454 "But do not let anyone hear you say that, my son."
230455 "Regardless, Jacqueline used the ensuing chaos to escape her house arrest.
Dressed in men’s clothing, she fled to Holland, forcing Philip to keep his
attention in the north."

230501 "This is where we will stand tomorrow, my son, when Joan of Arc burns.
Already they are dousing the pyre with oil. This is to be no ordinary fire, you
see; the flames must rise high for La Pucelle, as if they truly were the fires of
Hell."
230502 "For a long time she was a nuisance to Duke Philip. He never could
understand her zealous wrath, her single-mindedness…and how she seemed to truly
believe the words of fire that she spoke. Compared to him, the ruthless politician,
she was another being entirely."
230503 "But at this point, La Pucelle was not on Philip’s mind. For even as Joan
dealt defeats to the Burgundian forces in France, Philip had yet to deal with the
escaped Jacqueline."
230504 "In Holland, Jacqueline had found new supporters in the so-called ‘Hooks’,
noblemen of low birth. For years, they had been fighting a civil war with the
merchant class, known as the ‘Cods’."
230505 "Philip now had to walk into this mire of old grudges and blood feuds to
finally defeat the elusive Jacqueline."
230551 "In the end, it was the Pope that dealt the final blow to Jacqueline’s
dreams of power. As he dissolved her marriage to the Lord Protector of England, she
was left without allies, and soon she was once again captured by Philip’s forces."
230552 "Philip gave her a peace treaty more amicable than she could have hoped for.
She was allowed to keep her titles, but Philip assumed regency over all of her
lands. Once the wife of the Dauphin of France, Jacqueline was reduced to a position
of hollow prestige."
230553 "For the first time, the Low Countries were unified under Burgundian rule; a
strange situation, for a land so long defined by quarrelling cities…but, in the
end, a change for the better."
230554 "You see, my son, a land united is a stronger land. When its cities no
longer fight each other, their people can focus on the arts, on industry, beautiful
architecture, and innovation…"
230555 "All of the things that we call civilization; all of the things that must be
cast aside when one is called upon to pick up the sword..."
230556 "As for Philip…with his northern realms secured, he could finally turn his
attention to France, and to Joan of Arc; the Maid of Orléans."

230601 "Since the rise of the Maid of Orléans, the war had not been going well for
England and Burgundy."
230602 "In a matter of days, Joan had crushed the combined English and Burgundian
forces at Orléans; and now, for a year, she had campaigned with the Armagnac army,
bringing it victory after victory. Only recently had she suffered a setback, as her
forces failed to take Paris from the English."
230603 "She was not a warrior; at just nineteen years of age, she carried nothing
but a banner into battle. Yet, her tactics and her fiery speeches that seemed to be
the very word of God had made her the Armagnacs’ greatest weapon."
230604 "Philip resolved to put an end to her for good. His forces were laying siege
to Compiègne when word reached him that Joan and her loyal followers had snuck into
the city to aid the defenders."
230605 "This would be the day that the Maid of Orléans fell."
230651 "It was late at night when the soldiers brought Joan to Philip. Calmly, he
instructed all of us advisors to leave his tent. As soon as they were alone, La
Pucelle began berating the duke to his face."
230652 "The Dauphin, she said, was chosen by God to be the savior of France. And
he, Duke Philip, was a traitor to his country."
230653 "She was a zealot, as I have told you, my son; for her, the world was black
and white. The goals of the Burgundian duke were as incomprehensible to her as her
righteous fire was to Philip."
230654 "I could see them through a slit in the tent door: the Duke could barely
hide his disgust for this peasant girl who talked down to him as he were a mere
commoner. Yet, he retained his composure. When she was finished, he let a long
silence fall on the room."
230655 "At last, he spoke in a low voice:"
230656 "‘If the Dauphin is indeed your beloved savior, Joan, where was he at Paris?
Where is he now?’ He did not allow her time to answer."
230657 "“The moment that I heard of your capture, I dispatched two emissaries: one
to the English and one to your Dauphin, each with the same proposal: 10,000 ducats
in return for La Pucelle.’"
230658 "‘I am a man of my word, girl. If the Dauphin has not abandoned you and
wishes to see you free, I will allow you to return to your holy…mission.’"
230659 "‘But, if not…’"
230660 "At that moment, two English soldiers entered the tent. With a look almost
of pity for the young maiden, Philip nodded. The Englishmen grabbed her by the
arms. As they dragged her out, the Duke sighed and said:"
230661 "‘Alas, Joan, it is nothing personal. It is only politics.’"
230662 "There she is now; can you see? The English are tying her to the pole. For a
short while, this girl was the symbol of French resistance. Now, her death will
symbolize the final defeat of the Armagnacs."
230663 "Watch, my son: not the girl in the flames, but the men around her: the
clerics, the inquisitors, the nobles of England and Burgundy. The men who decide
the fate of nations. For them, for us, this is not the burning of a heretic, nor
the downfall of a hero."
230664 "It is, like all things, a means to an end."

// 31 - Hautevilles

231101 "'Sit down, my king,' I said to the young Frederick Roger as he entered the
garden. 'It is time for your studies. Your German tutors have no doubt told you of
the deeds of your Teutonic grandfather.'"
231102 "'I know that story by heart,' the boy king replied proudly."
231103 "'Indeed,' I said with a wink, 'but I will tell you of the other side of
your family – for you are firstly a son of Sicily.'"
231104 "'Ah, dear Sicily, a kingdom like no other: where three peoples were fused
under the southern sun and formed the jewel that lies between East and West.'"
231105 "'It was the Norman side of your family that made it all possible. Normandy
was a cold, northern land of steel and chivalry. But it was also overflowing with
the younger sons of minor barons – men aspiring to a greatness that exceeded the
constraints of birth and station.'"
231106 "'This story–your story–begins with your great grandfather's brother, Robert
de Hauteville: a man of immense stature, with fair hair, broad shoulders, and eyes
that all but shot out sparks of flame.'"
231107 "'Robert was driven and possessed that incorrigible confidence that melts
away doubts and allows ambition to keep pace with imagination. More cunning than
any foe he faced, he was ever-vigilant to seize any advantage, win through any
means, and remain unbound by the rules of lesser men.'"
231108 "'You speak of him as a great man…but what did he do?' the boy king asked,
his eyes now wide with childish enthusiasm. I answered: 'Robert was the first to
unite all Italian Normans under a single ruler, but his origins were very humble.'"
231109 "'He came from Normandy to Italy with scarcely thirty followers and sought
fortune in this land that so often rewards those with the daring and brilliance to
seize it…'"
231151 "'The Italians called Robert, 'Guiscard': the cunning fox. In a few decades,
he had brought all of Southern Italy to heel, but his imagination and his cunning
would carry him across the horizon to new conquests.'"
231152 "'Where did he go next?' The boy king nearly jumped up as he asked."
231153 "'That is a story for tomorrow…not even a king can learn all of history in a
single day.'"
231154 "I remained in the garden as young Frederick Roger hurried off, a smile
resting on my face. Already I could see in him the shadow of his forefathers.
Perhaps, one day, this boy would eclipse them all."

231201 "'Stories of Robert's successes in Italy inspired a Normandy broken by civil


war. The Norman Duke William had not yet earned the title 'The Conqueror' and was
still a controversial young bastard barely clinging to power. Many Norman knights,
bloodied by civil war and lured by southern riches, set out for Italy.'"
231202 "'Robert's youngest brother–your great grandfather–Roger de Hauteville, was
among them, but he was different. Where Robert was ruthless and cunning, Roger was
patient and chivalrous. He was motivated by love.'"
231203 "'Judith d'Evreux, cousin of Duke William, had stolen Roger's heart and the
two wished to be married. Judith's father, however, would never entertain the
thought of his daughter marrying a mere landless knight.'"
231204 "'Roger had no choice but to go to Italy to prove himself worthy of the
woman that he loved.'"
231205 "'But Robert Guiscard, like his brother before him, expected Roger to make
his own way in Italy, as he had done years before. He offered Roger no lands and no
knights.'"
231206 "'Fortunately for Roger, there was still a prize awaiting a man of his
talents. An island–ruled by Muslims for two centuries, but now divided between
rival emirs–Sicily beckoned.'"
231251 "'Sicily was a land fitting for a man like Roger: daring and ambitious, but
also patient, chivalric, tolerant, and, above all, motivated by love. He married
his beloved Judith and settled in a Sicilian court.'"
231252 "'Roger Bosso–the Great Count, as your great grandfather would come to be
known–was more than a conqueror. Adopting the ways of the island, he fashioned a
new eclecticism that gave Sicily its unique character and strength.'"
231253 "'I do not know these words,' the boy king said sadly."
231254 "'Forgive me, my king. What it means…is that the warm Mediterranean breezes,
the cool marble colonnades, the bubbly fountains splashing among the lemon trees…
these are marked on your soul.'"
231255 "'You are shaped by this land where Catholic church bells and the Orthodox
liturgy mingle seamlessly with the Islamic call to prayer. It is a heritage unlike
any other, all thanks to your great grandfather.'"
231256 "The boy nodded. I did not think he could yet fathom just how unique his
kingdom was…"

231301 "'What did my great grandfather do next?' asked the boy king."
231302 "'I know that you want to hear more of Count Roger, my young king, but there
are many lessons to learn from the other Hautevilles.'"
231303 "'While your great grandfather was uniting Sicily, Robert Guiscard looked
east to a Byzantine Empire reeling from its crushing defeat at Manzikert. He
arranged for an Orthodox monk to claim that he was a deposed emperor in need of
Guiscard's support.'"
231304 "'Guiscard recognized, however, that he could not devote his full attention
to such a campaign. The ceaseless feuds between Pope and Holy Roman Emperor would
inevitably draw him back to Italy. He therefore assigned the command of the
expedition to his eldest son, Bohemond.'"
231305 "'Twenty years before, when Bohemond had been a boy, Guiscard discarded
Bohemond's mother to marry a local Lombard princess for a momentary advantage. The
first marriage to Bohemond's mother was ruled invalid by a compliant Pope, reducing
Bohemond to a bastard.'"
231306 "'By tradition, nothing of Guiscard's would pass to Bohemond, but this
obstacle only hardened the warrior prince. He had all of the individual heroism,
tactical brilliance, and religious conviction to inspire men to follow him to the
ends of the earth and challenge even an emperor.'"
231307 "'What Bohemond had not accounted for, however, was the power of a woman.'"
231351 "'Robert Guiscard died suddenly in 1085 while Bohemond was stricken by
illness, or, as some say, poisoned by his step-mother Sikelgaita.'"
231352 "'Believing that Bohemond might die, the Norman lords had no choice but to
elect Sikelgaita's son as duke, a decision further encouraged by Count Roger of
Sicily's support for the weaker and more easily influenced second son of Robert
Guiscard.'"
231353 "'The seeds of Count Roger's patience were beginning to take root, but
Bohemond's story is not yet finished.'"

231401 "'Bohemond never forgave Count Roger for siding with his younger brother,
but other events would draw Bohemond away before he could threaten Norman unity.'"
231402 "'As bands of knights and foot soldiers passed through Sicily on their way
to the Holy Land, Roger arranged for Bohemond to linger amongst them.'"
231403 "'Lured by the promises of lands and eternal glory on Crusade, Bohemond,
too, set out for the east. '"
231404 "'Bohemond re-traced the path through the Byzantine Empire that he had taken
only a few years before while warring against the Emperor Alexios Komnenos. Now,
however, he came to Constantinople as an honored guest, kneeling before his old
adversary and promising to restore the Empire's territories in the Holy Land.'"
231405 "'Bohemond, of course, shared his father's cunning, and had no intention of
following through with such a promise. When the Crusaders besieged the ancient city
of Antioch, Bohemond resolved that it should be his.'"
231406 "'Mustering the cunning of his heritage, Bohemond told the emperor's men
that the other Crusaders planned to assassinate them, causing them to return
home.'"
231407 "'He then bribed a local garrison commander to open Antioch's gates, but
only after he had secured the sworn promises of the other Crusader princes that the
first among them to enter the city would rule it.'"
231408 "'Unfortunately for Bohemond and the Crusaders, a great Turkish army was on
its way. Already worn down by eight long months of siege, Bohemond would need every
ounce of his courage and his skill to survive.'"
231451 "'While Bohemond did not inherit his father's lands, he did inherit his
attributes and these won him a princedom.'"
231452 "'But Bohemond was not done after conquering Antioch. He sought every
opportunity to conquer new lands, but his fearless aggression led to him being
ambushed and captured by the Turks.'"
231453 "'His old enemy, the Emperor Alexios Komnenos, even offered to pay
Bohemond's ransom if the Norman prince was brought to Constantinople in chains.
Once again, Bohemond bested his old enemy, tricking his Turkish captors into
releasing him for a smaller ransom.'"
231454 "'Years later, Bohemond again fought against the emperor, but was surrounded
by the emperor's armies. He agreed to become a vassal of Emperor Alexios, but
Bohemond's cunning had one last triumph.'"
231455 "'So that the treaty binding Bohemond to the emperor would not include
Antioch, Bohemond never again set foot in the city. He died in Sicily, leaving his
son to succeed him in his hard-won eastern princedom.'"

231501 "'Our story is coming nearly to an end, my young king, but I have not yet
even told you of your grandfather, he who first wore the crown that now rests upon
your head.'"
231502 "'It is a story that should sound familiar to you. Your grandfather's
father, the great Count Roger, died when Roger II was only a boy. Like you, he was
raised by his mother in a cosmopolitan court, among Greek and Muslim tutors.'"
231503 "'While such an upbringing meant that the young Roger lacked the martial
confidence of his forebears, he instead gained skills for diplomacy and statecraft
that would prove far more valuable.'"
231504 "'At that time, Norman Italy was divided into two lordships: Apulia, ruled
by Robert Guiscard's grandson; and Sicily, ruled by Roger. When his cousin in
Apulia died childless in 1127, Roger claimed all Hauteville lands in Italy, forming
the united Kingdom of Sicily.'"
231505 "'But this growing power–and Roger's tolerance for peoples of all faiths–
raised the suspicions of the Pope. Railing against the 'half-heathen prince,' the
Pope called a Crusade.'"
231506 "'Roger's Norman vassals, led by his own brother-in-law, rose in rebellion,
while a mighty German army headed by the Holy Roman Emperor himself marched down
the length of Italy.'"
231507 "'But Roger had grander ambitions than fighting Normans and German princes.
He had a kingdom to build.'"
231551 "'Poets, scientists, and artists came to Sicily from both the Islamic and
Christian worlds, welcomed with admiration and tolerance. The long gestating seeds
of Count Roger's patience, planted in this most fertile soil, had finally awoken
and flowered under King Roger and this bright kingdom in the sun.'"
231552 "'As for the Holy Roman Emperor, he died in the mountains on his way back to
Germany. His throne stood empty for many years, though his grandson, styling
himself Henry the Lion, would lay claim to it.'"
231553 "'Ultimately, it was your German grandfather who finally restored the Holy
Roman Empire and united Germany and Italy.'"
231554 "'You see, my dear Frederick Roger, in your name, you carry the legacies of
both of your grandfathers. One, whom your German tutors adore, was, of course, the
great Frederick Barbarossa.'"
231555 "'But the other–half-Norman, half-Italian, but fully Sicilian–was most like
you.'"
231556 "'And that, my young king, is the story of how your family built the kingdom
that you now rule.'"
231557 "The young king watched me for a moment. He stood up, thanked me for the
lecture, and walked away. About halfway through the garden, he stopped and stood
silent for a while, and then asked thoughtfully:"
231558 "'Do you think…that I will be their equal? A new Guiscard, or Roger Bosso,
or King Roger?'"
231559 "'My king,' I said, 'in time, you will outshine them all.'"
